Mobile Behavioral Health Unit
The new mobile Behavioral Health Unit launched in summer 2022 operated in partnership with Texas Children’s Hospital Department of Psychiatry offers evidence-based, assessment-driven treatment for youth whose histories of exposure to trauma, traumatic loss, and/or severe adversity place them at high risk for severe persisting distress, functional impairment, and developmental disruption. The mobile clinic is a modularized intervention, and the modules can be tailored to the individual child based on assessment results. The clinic will travel to area schools and neighborhoods offering in person and telehealth visits free of charge.
