The Grace Loncar Foundationβs mission is to reduce the su***de rate among North Texas teens and young adults by providing education, support, and resources to teens/young adults, their caregivers, and su***de survivors. We accomplish this mission by partnering with mental health professionals, community organizations, schools, and other mental health advocates to sponsor mental health awareness pr
ogramming, provide mental health care scholarships, and support caregivers and su***de survivors. We focus our efforts on three primary areas:
Education: We educate and de-stigmatize mental health by partnering with licensed professionals to host speaking series and community events that shed light on the signs and struggles associated with mental distress and illness. We also partner with schools to fund and support programs such as Hope Squad that work to educate students about mental health and de-stigmatize mental health in our schools. Support: We support teens and young adults struggling with their mental health, caregivers of those struggling, and those who have lost someone to su***de. We also support our partner mental health organizations in their endeavors to reach our collective goal: end su***de. Financial Assistance: We partner with mental health care providers to identify patients in need of mental health care financial aid and work with the health care provider to bridge the gap between the cost of the care and the candidate's ability to pay.
