About

Mental health is an ongoing challenge in the modern world and continues to affect many families within the USA. It is quite prevalent in kids, teens, and young adults. Sadly, when it impacts them, it has a ripple effect that affects their livelihoods and independence, as well as the toll it takes on the family members who are usually the primary caregivers. This becomes a particularly challenging time for everyone involved, and any assistance, in whatever manner, becomes a much-needed break.

Tyler Knight Foundation was set up in response to one brave family's struggle with mental health. From a first-hand experience with a child with cognitive and behavioral issues, this family from Texas, USA, endured the hurdles that come with a lack of proper information and support. They moved from one specialist to another, each providing their preferred treatments, but none worked. There appeared to be systemic bureaucracy that slowed down the whole progress. The family members had to actively follow up on numerous treatment options and leads, on top of finding time to still carry on their personal lives. All this time, the child is the primary victim and requires all the attention and love they can get. Many times it all felt overwhelming. But they still soldiered on. Because with every turn, they learned something new or established a relationship that could come in handy at a later time. And because the love they all shared kept their hope alive, and their commitment to the cause motivated them to aspire to serve other families. This became the labor of love that is The Tyler Knight Foundation.

The foundation aims to be a lifeline for children with mental health and behavioral issues, as well as their families and caregivers. We have tips, insights, and lessons on various treatment programs that we can happily share. We are a platform that raises awareness of behavioral and mental health challenges while demystifying the stereotypes and stigma. We're here as a first point of call - a place where you can find out what resources are out there for you, how to access them, hear others' stories, and share your own.
