Texas System of Care

Overview

Texas System of Care (TxSOC) is a statewide effort to strengthen state and local coordination to ensure high-quality mental health care that is family-driven, youth-guided, community-based, culturally grounded, and sustainable.

Funded through a four-year grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Texas System of Care will work to implement a strategic plan to be developed during a planning initiative (see ASSET below).

Texas System of Care is led by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Department of State Health Services, and the Texas Institute for Excellence in Mental Health in collaboration with families (Texas Family Voice Network), youth, advocates, providers, and child-serving state agencies.
