Prompt and high quality assessments, and efficient stabilization services for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.
Our teams of highly-trained mental health professionals work in a variety of clinical and community settings with individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis. By providing accessible, prompt, high quality assessments, and effective stabilization and treatment, we ensure de-escalation of the current crisis to restore functioning in the least restrictive environment.
The need for behavioral health and developmental disability services is huge – and no one organization can provide for the entire Harris County community on its own. It takes a collaboration of many individuals, providers and advocacy groups to ensure the provision of services and supports for those with a mental illness or an intellectual & developmental disability.
Some of the programs we offer include:
-
A 24-hour Crisis Line that provides counseling via telephone for crisis situations as well as referrals for mental health treatment and IDD assistance
-
Inpatient services for individuals who need crisis stabilization
-
Short-term residential alternatives to hospitalization
-
Respite care for individuals who may need a more structured environment until stabilized
-
A voluntary residential program that provides person-centered, engaging, empowering, and recovery-oriented supports from peers
-
Field-Based Programs like our Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT) and Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) in partnership with the Houston Police Department and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office
-
Homeless & Care Coordination Programs
