Communities Foundation of Texas has awarded a $6 million multi-year grant through the W.W. Caruth, Jr., Fund to the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute to implement a comprehensive initiative that provides support to children and youth who have witnessed or experienced violence or other crimes.

The award enables the creation of the North Texas Handle With Care Network to help identify at-risk children and their families who have experienced violence and connect them to community health services that can improve their mental health and mitigate the psychological harm and risk of suicide that can occur from exposure to violence. Handle with Care (HWC) is a national model that was first piloted in 2013 and has been replicated across the country.
