UTHCPC's Children's Behavioral Health Initiative, "Mental Health Is Everything" campaign, provides a continuum of mental health clinical services and education for children, adolescents and families residing within the Houston Independent School District's (HISD) South Region. Children and adolescents living in the Houston area are at a high risk of poor school performance, death or incarceration due to unidentified or untreated mental illness.  The need for early identification of mental health problems and the treatment of those problems will benefit the children themselves, their families and the community in general.  An interactive set of web-pages to help identify mental/behavioral health clinics and services for students can be found click here.
