Community Implementation: Community-Centered Approach to Well-Being
The Hogg Foundation supports community efforts to build resilience and improve mental health in environments that are woven into everyday life in settings such as schools, workplaces and faith-based organizations.
To achieve this goal, the foundation works with community organizations and collaborations to facilitate an understanding of how their work impacts mental health and how this impact can be strengthened. The foundation also engages individuals, especially consumers and family members, to develop community-level solutions that meet their unique mental health needs.
We want all communities in Texas to have a deep understanding of the differences in power and privilege that lead to mental health disparities. An understanding of health equity principles is key to this approach, as is a willingness to enter communities with cultural humility and an intent to listen.
