Hogg Foundation for Mental Health
All people in Texas should thrive in resilient communities that support mental health and well-being.
Reflections on the Global Leadership Exchange 2026

Designing Belonging: Third Spaces as Mental Health Infrastructure
The Austin Public Library system provides some of the most visible and accessible third space systems in the city. It is a network of spaces that serve people across ages, backgrounds, and life experiences.
Our Strategy
We are inspired by Ima Hogg’s vision for a Texas that supports and promotes mental health, resilience, and well-being. Miss Ima was ahead of her time in believing that mental health was just as important as physical health. She believed all people should have access to community-based resources to support mental well-being and live fulfilling lives and championed supports in everyday environments like schools, workplaces, places of worship, and homes.
