About Us

The Texas Youth Mental Health Network Coalition is a community-driven initiative dedicated to enhancing the emotional, social, and intellectual well-being of young people across Texas. As a collaborative effort, we bring together organizations, educators, mentors, and families who share a common goal: to empower youth through mental health education, mentorship, life skills training, and leadership development.

Our coalition operates under the umbrella of The Texas Youth Action Network (TYAN) at Texas A&M, allowing us to leverage research-backed strategies, community resources, and expert-led programming to address the unique mental health challenges young people face today. We believe that every child deserves access to the tools and support necessary for personal growth, resilience, and success—regardless of their background, economic status, or environment.

With a focus on education, advocacy, and community engagement, we provide youth with the skills they need to navigate stress, build self-confidence, and make informed decisions about their future. Through mentorship programs, peer support networks, leadership training, and mental health resources, we ensure that young people have the guidance and encouragement they need to thrive.

We recognize that youth do not succeed alone—they need strong support systems in place. That’s why we actively engage educators, parents, and mentors by offering training sessions, toolkits, and direct support services that equip them to be effective allies in a young person’s journey.

At the Texas Youth Mental Health Network Coalition, we are committed to breaking down barriers to mental health care, creating inclusive spaces for open conversations, and fostering a future where every young person has the resources and encouragement to lead a mentally healthy and fulfilling life. Together, we are building stronger communities—one young mind at a time.
