Who We Serve
​At-Risk Youths

Who is at Risk?

  • History of trauma or abuse
  • Severe mental health concerns
  • From family with limited economic means
  • Neglect or stressful home environment
  • Lack of social and/or emotional support

The Facts and Challenges for Texas' At-Risk Youths

Picture
  • 1 in 5 youths have diagnosable mental health disorder
  • 175,000 children suffer from severe mental health needs
  • Only 1 out of 3 children who qualify for public mental health services receive care
  • Texas ranks near the bottom in money spent on public mental health care
