Summary
In Tarrant County, seniors face alarmingly high suicide rates—until PEARLS steps in. This proven program, designed to combat loneliness and depression, connects older adults with personalized coaching and community support. Since 2015, nearly 800 locals have benefited, with 97% reporting dramatic mental health improvements. Yet funding cuts have slashed staff and eliminated transportation, threatening this lifeline. Still, PEARLS remains a beacon of hope for aging adults navigating grief, isolation, and life’s toughest transitions.
