About the Kyle Hyland Foundation for Teen Support:

The KHF serves a vital need in our community and our organization is the only one of its kind not only in Benicia but in many other surrounding cities. Benicia is a small town where teens have few places to go to gather and support each other. While improvements have been made in the level of mental health services provided by local school districts, many teens in trouble often struggle to find the support they need. Parents with at-risk teens also encounter difficulty finding the help they need, with few local resources or referrals. The stigma of mental illness remains with little to no understanding in the general public. As a result of this lack of support and resources, youth continue to battle anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. The mental health of the youth has been even more impacted as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic.

The mission of the Kyle Hyland Foundation for Teen Support is to provide charitable and educational support to teens by establishing a teen center where youth can be provided emotional support through mentoring, counseling, music and art. The Benicia Teen Center, located at 1135 Church Street, was established in January, 2016. In 2019, we served over 180 teens.
