ABOUT US

The Miles Hall Foundation promotes initiatives that will save lives and will protect those impacted by mental illness. We believe in taking action with urgency in order to raise public awareness about mental illness and to bring about necessary change. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make measurable differences in the lives of those impacted by mental illness.

If you, someone you know, or someone you see is struggling with suicidal thoughts or appears to be experiencing mental health issues, please call or text 9-8-8.  


By using 988 instead of 911 you will be contacting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline instead of police and you will be connected with a trained mental health professional. Click here and can get help now on the 988 Lifeline site from your computer or phone browser.

“I found out that you had to be a danger to yourself or a danger to others to get help. Preventative crisis help for someone with severe mental illness was literally impossible to find.”

WHAT WE DO

Thanks to your support, The Miles Hall Foundation is achieving more with our initiatives than ever before. We are working on many impactful projects to help improve the lives of those most impacted by our broken system of public safety, mental health care, and mental health emergency response. We are proud of the progress we continue to make in Miles' name. 

Supporting new laws and creating changes to local and national policies and laws that impact families, communities and people living with mental health challenges and facing racial injustices.

ADVOCACY

Changing how support is provided to families impacted by mental illness and serving as a resource to families before, during and after crisis events.

EDUCATION

Helping students create anti-racist, safe and inclusive learning environments where all students are valued and where systemic racism, individual biases and mental health stigmas are challenged and eliminated.

PREVENTION

Saving lives by changing policies that allow the use of excessive and lethal force by law enforcement responding to mental health crisis events.

REMEMBERING OUR LOVED ONES

The Miles Hall Foundation, with help from members of the community, purchased benches and tables and worked together to transform a small park near where Miles lived, to remember Miles, Andrew King, and Aisha Horley and other loved ones who left us too soon.

The park in Walnut Creek has now been renamed "Remembrance Park" and is a place of reflection and remembrance for many. Many people have sponsored a custom memorial brick which have been placed in the park for a loved one.  Future opportunities to add more memorials are being planned. 

 

We had pizza and cupcakes at the park on Tuesday February 15, 2023 to honor Miles' 27th birthday and dedicate the 24 new bricks recently added.


If you're in the area, please visit this special place.
