About - How U Doin!

Who We Are

The How U Doin Foundation is revolutionizing how we support adolescents, families, and communities facing mental health, connection, and substance misuse challenges — starting right here in Texas.

We believe every teen deserves a safe place to belong, every family deserves understanding, and every community thrives when its young people are connected, supported, and inspired.

Why We Exist

Texas is facing a youth mental health crisis:

314,000 Texas teens are living with depression.
1 in 10 teens binge drink.
In one local high school, there were 240 suicide attempts in just two years, with 5 tragic completions.
Many families have nowhere to turn for judgment-free, consistent, and affordable support.

Our community has over 7.5 million youth under 18, yet fewer than 25 Intensive Outpatient Programs in the entire state. In our own 12 municipalities, there are only two teen programs within driving distance — most without evening or weekend access.

Families are left isolated, teens are left vulnerable, and the gap in resources keeps growing.

Our Story

Our founder, Eddie Fischer, knows firsthand what it means to face adversity and come out stronger. Nineteen years sober, Eddie has dedicated his life to helping others find hope, connection, and purpose.

After years of working with teens and families, Eddie saw the same pattern over and over: once treatment ends, support ends — and that’s when teens are most at risk of relapse, isolation, and crisis.

The How U Doin Foundation was born to fill that gap.

We’re creating a place that’s there for teens before, during, and after treatment — a place they want to come to, where families feel welcome, and where community replaces isolation.

The Solution — The Clubhouse

Opening in Northlake, Texas in 2026, our 5,000 sq. ft. Clubhouse will be a safe, fun, and purpose-driven hub — open six days a week, donor-supported, and built on our Four Pillars:

Fun – We lead with energy and joy, from pizza nights to games and music.
Connection – The opposite of addiction is connection. We create spaces where teens belong.
Discovery – Teens explore who they are, what they love, and what they’re capable of.
Direction – Purpose becomes visible — college, trade, military, or entrepreneurship.

Inside the Clubhouse:

🍕 Pizza Kitchen — Food as a bridge to connection and confidence.
🎙 Podcast Studio — State-of-the-art space where teens share their voices.
🛋 Quiet Room — A technology-free reset space with calming elements.
🕹 Arcade & Games — Fun that builds community.
🎥 Movie Nights — Shared experiences that spark conversations.

Our Approach

We are trauma-informed, connection-first, and solutions-focused.

We believe in:

Meeting teens where they are — no judgment, just support.
Making mental health approachable, not clinical.
Providing consistent, accessible, and free programming for families.

The Vision Ahead

The first Clubhouse will open in 2026 in Northlake, Texas. But our vision is bigger: to create a network of Clubhouses across Texas — and beyond — so no teen or family faces this journey alone.

Join Us

We’re building more than a building — we’re building a movement. Your support will open the doors of the Clubhouse, fund life-changing programs, and create a safe haven for thousands of teens and families.
