988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

This database was created in response to Senate Bill 11 from the 86th Texas Legislature, which required the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to develop a rubric for Education Service Centers (ESCs) to use in identifying resources that are available to schools in their respective regions, along with a list of statewide resources available to school districts to address the mental health of students.

Texas Health and Human Services has implemented a free mental health support line to connect citizens anxious over the COVID-19 pandemic and its restrictions with someone who can help. The resource targets COVID-19-related mental health issues specifically, and is open to all Texans at 833-986-1919, a toll-free number. COVID-19, which has reached pandemic levels, is a highly contagious disease caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). 

Counseling services are confidential and free of charge to people who call the hotline, which is operated by the Harris Center for Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disability and Behavioral Health Services.

Alcoholism and drug addiction destroy lives.  Beginning the process of seeking help can be overwhelming for families.  Rehab.com gives support in the search for help.  The link below will help families with the process.
