All people in Texas should thrive in resilient communities that support mental health and well-being.
Mental Health Awareness Month 2026
We are celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month and highlighting this year’s theme, “More Good Days Together”.
Policy: Telling Your Story
When we think about policy change, we often think about experts, statistics, and long hours at the Capitol. But some of the most powerful tools for change aren’t data points, they’re stories. Today’s conversation looks at how lived experience becomes a catalyst for advocacy. We’ll explore how young people, and really anyone, can use their personal story to shape systems, influence policy, and make their communities stronger.

Libraries Supporting Community Mental Health
Request for proposals from a select number of Texas public libraries to strengthen the mental health and well-being of their community through educational programs, resources, services, and support.
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.
