Community
Assisting efforts to build resilience and improve mental health in the places people live, learn, work, pray, and play.We will support communities in their efforts to build resilience and improve mental health in the places people live, learn, work, pray, and play. This includes working alongside community members, youth, families, neighborhoods, and people with direct experience with mental health challenges to explore and advance approaches that promote mental health, resilience, and well-being.
The Hogg Foundation will support community members and organizations outside of traditional health care settings by facilitating an understanding of how their work can impact and better promote mental health. By partnering with schools, workplaces, faith-based organizations, and other key community organizations, the foundation will facilitate learning, coordination, and collaboration among sectors and stakeholders. Through these efforts, the foundation seeks to create environments that promote mental health and support meaningful, community-driven change.
