Integral Care uses input from several committees and councils to help make sure we stay true to our mission, promote diversity, create policies and build an environment that best serves our clients.

Consumer Council

The Consumer Council is made up of people who currently receive services from Integral Care. The council receives information about Integral Care’s services, policies and procedures and discusses how they could impact current and future clients of the agency. The council also offers ideas to improve our services and helps hold Integral Care accountable to our mission. The Consumer Council meets quarterly on the second Tuesday of the month at 12:00 p.m. Meetings are a safe environment where people can openly share their thoughts about Integral Care.

The CTAAFSC is an annual conference hosted and sponsored by Integral Care and other community partners. The conference is held every February and brings together families, consumers and professionals to increase access to care and decrease health disparities. The goal of the conference is to raise awareness of mental and physical health care services while reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. The CTAAFSC is planned and organized by a volunteer Planning Committee that meets on the third Wednesday of every month.

If you’re interesting in joining the Planning Committee or volunteering at the event, e-mail info@ctaafsc.org. Learn more about the conference at ctaafsc.org.

Integral Care Foundation (ICF), formerly New Milestones Foundation, was founded in 1983 by Judy Yudof, a former chair of Integral Care’s Board of Trustees. Yudof saw an opportunity to further support Integral Care’s programs by raising awareness and resources for mental health.

In its early days, ICF secured grant dollars from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to purchase housing for people living with mental illness that would be managed by Integral Care staff. Today, ICF hosts Bridging the Gap, an annual gala to support its mission and raise funds for Integral Care.

ICF also hosts Speakers Bureaus in the community to help reduce the stigma associated with mental illness as well as increase awareness about Integral Care’s programs and services. Funds raised by ICF help Integral Care support adults and children living with mental illness, substance use disorder and intellectual and developmental disabilities in Travis County.
