ABOUT US
Bringing Hat Mentoring (est 2017), is a nonprofit organization founded to address the number one issue facing young people and their families -- unmet mental health needs. Using a blend of strategic communications, as well as raising funds to help finance various forms of treatment, we work to change attitudes towards mental illness and breakdown barriers to quality mental healthcare for young people and their families.
​
While our initial focus is based in the greater Houston/Missouri City area, we believe the need spans the entire state and beyond. 17 million young people have or will have a diagnosable psychiatric disorder -- that's more than the number of young people who have cancer, diabeties and AIDS combined. Yet, many youth experiencing a mental health challenge feel like they have no one to talk to, nor one who understands them, and no where to turn. Only 20% of young people with mental health challenges receive care and even fewer get effective treatment.
​
We know that when people are educated about mental health needs of children and youth, attitudes change. With quality care and support, youth with mental health challenges can lead hopeful, fulfilling lives and can be successful members of society. When attitudes change and young people have access to quality care, lives are saved.
Mission
At Bringing Hat Mentoring, we believe in inspiring and transforming young people to reach their highest potential with specific focus on the areas of MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS AND COUNSELING. We believe that with the right counseling, any young person can be placed on the path of success. In addition, we look to provide additional support in the areas of mentorship, scholastic achievement and physical fitness.
​
Vision
We envision a community where all children are provided an opportunity to realize their unlimited potential in all aspects of their lives.
Core Values
We believe everyone has unlimited potential. We strive for constant transformation and evolution into the highest version of one’s self.
We believe passion and enthusiasm ignite greatness. We are mentors, friends, counselors and motivators. Our programs encourage self-discipline and individual empowerment by balancing thought, belief and action.
We believe in staying in the race and staying ready, until the work is done. We require commitment to the process and to the goals of success.
We see the greatness in each and every one of our youth. We ask that each focus on the process, because they can never get it wrong, and the process is never over.
