Children of Change: Supporting Youth Mental Health in an Uncertain World
We take a deep dive into youth mental health, the pressures on families and educators, and the community-driven solutions that offer hope.
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.
