The Wellness Institute (TWI) is committed to support youth resilience by developing and disseminating behavioral health and suicide prevention education and resources to better equip youth and their families to overcome challenges during adolescence and young adulthood. With our world-class hospitals focused on physical wellness, TWI Houston is bringing another look at mental wellness to the broader Houston community. Working with a midsize Jewish community enables us to identify and work closely with all of our community partners.

Our mission is to disseminate educational resources and trainings to assist youth worldwide in discovering meaning, hope, and resilience. TWI develops educational materials for parents and resilience-building programs that engage teens in meaningful discussions and provide evidence-based skills to enhance communication, problem solving and emotion regulation.

In addition, it trains individuals and organizations who provide educational, community-based, and clinical services.
