The Texas Department of Health and Human Services awarded Integral Care a $1,000,000 grant to establish a Children’s Crisis Respite facility in Travis County. This facility will address the critical shortage of crisis respite options for children and youth, reducing the risk of relapse and providing a supportive environment for those transitioning from inpatient care or needing temporary out-of-home care. This initiative aligns with the rising need for mental health services, as evidenced by the increasing number of youths accessing crisis services and emergency department visits for mental health issues in Travis County.
