Together, we can break the cycle of trauma and open doors to brighter futures.
As with so many life-changing programs, it all began with a simple need: helping kids in a small North Texas town who were facing stress and trauma far beyond their control.
That need grew into THRIVE — Together Harnessing Resources to Give Individuals Voice and Empowerment.
Today, THRIVE is giving hope, healing, and opportunity to underserved students across North Texas. With your support, we can expand even further.
Why THRIVE Matters
- 1 in 4 children experiences traumatic events like violence, divorce, food insecurity, or homelessness.
- Without intervention, these challenges can impact health, success, and well-being for years to come.
- THRIVE equips middle and high school students with resiliency training, counseling, and access to affordable medical and mental health care.
Innovative Solutions Changing Lives
- The Student-Run Grocery Store
Launched at Linda Tutt High School, this store provides food access for families and teaches responsibility. Students earn points through good deeds and resilient behaviors, which they use to “purchase” groceries — turning kindness into nourishment. - Many more stores are opening around North Texas ISDs.
- Resiliency Programs
Students receive evidence-based training to build coping skills, strengthen mental health, and prepare for lifelong success.
Looking Ahead: Expansion
The success in Sanger sparked a movement. THRIVE has already been replicated in schools across Lewisville, Terrell, Dallas, and Fort Worth.
But this is only the beginning. Texas Health Resources Foundation is raising funds to bring THRIVE to even more schools across North Texas over the next three years.
Your gift will help us reach more students at a critical point in their lives, empowering them with resilience, access to care, and the resources they need to thrive.
Every gift creates real change. Every dollar invests in brighter futures.
Together, we can help North Texas students THRIVE.
