Texas Veterans + Family Alliance
Mental Health Services for Service Members, Veterans and Military-Connected Families
About
Easter Seals Greater Houston and its collaborative partners have been chosen as recipients of the Texas Veterans + Family Alliance grant program from Texas Health and Human Services Commission. Houston, which has the 2nd highest population of veterans in the U.S., will have some critically needed funding for mental health services to reach Service Members, Veterans as well as Military-Connected Families.
The project will include system level change/outreach and direct services to veterans and their families through counseling, case management, technology, telemedicine, and other supports that will increase access to mental health services. Mental health services will include individual and group mental health counseling, peer to peer supports, interventions and/or trainings. Services will be complimented by case management to help break down barriers to services and resources and by providing a consistent, trusted place where the service member/Veteran/family member can turn when issues arise.
Easter Seals Greater Houston is proud to be serving our Service Members, Veterans and their families in partnership with the Catholic Charities, City of Houston Department of Health - Area Agency on Aging, Combined Arms, Crisis Intervention of Houston, Disability Rights Texas, The Dixon Center, Grace After Fire, Impact A Hero, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, Mental Health America of Greater Houston, My Service Dog, NextOp, Paws for Heroes, Santa Maria Hostel, U.S. VETS, Worklife Institute, and Xena Project. In addition to serving as the lead for the Community Collaboration, Easter Seals Greater Houston’s Housing & Financial Counseling, Supported Employment, Respite, Technology and Case Management Programs will provide services to the project’s clients.
