Purpose

The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health is offering grants to Texas public libraries to strengthen the mental health and well-being of their community through educational programs, resources, services, and support.

Program goals include:

  • Support libraries to enhance mental health, resilience, and well-being
  • Develop or strengthen multisector partnerships to support positive mental health
  • Involve people traditionally not engaged in planning, community activation, civic participation, program and policy development
  • Establish a robust library program that provides access to mental health resources and programming
  • Demonstrate the importance of mental health as part of overall health in these communities
  • Enhance mental health in communities in Texas with limited resources

Libraries are asked to build on their current partnerships and establish new connections through co-location and formal agreements/memoranda of understanding (MOUs). Potential collaborating partners could include local Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or community health centers (CHCs), local mental health authorities (LMHAs), peer-run organizations, relevant university or college programs, governmental agencies, legal aid organizations, and others.
