Policy Engagement
Informing state-level policies that include funding and support for mental health promotion, prevention, and early intervention.The Hogg Foundation informs state-level policies that include funding and support for mental health promotion, prevention, and early intervention in a variety of settings and populations. Our goal is to effect systemic change to improve the mental health and well-being of people across Texas.
The foundation also supports communities in fostering civic engagement and building individual and organizational capacity to engage in local and regional policy processes.
We want to see changes in community and institutional infrastructure, such as housing, transportation, education, and employment, that promote protective factors and minimize risk factors that affect mental health.
