Every child deserves a life lived to its fullest potential and should have access to help if they need it. No matter what. That's why Next Step provides free access to mental health and prevention services to local students and families at more than 70 locations across Texas. In this time of unprecedented need, we hope you will consider supporting Next Step.

We are honored to be the first in Texas to implement Sources of Strength in schools, a best-practice youth suicide prevention program. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in adolescents in the state of Texas. Sources of Strength aims to break codes of secrecy among students, promote help-seeking behavior, foster healthy peer-to-adult relationships, and build resiliency among youth.
