Description

17 percent of the population was treated for mental illness over a 12-month period, up from 13 percent a decade ago, with the greatest increase coming from primary care physicians providing psychiatric services.

Consumer and Family Empowerment Every effort will be made to involve consumers and families in treatment planning and to provide services in a manner that promotes keeping the family together. Services will be provided in Tarrant County so that consumers/families do not have to leave the county for help.

Mental Health Connection and Community Solutions implemented an award-winning social marketing program, which focused heavily on reducing stigma in the community. The campaign included a classroom PowerPoint curriculum with a teacher’s guide, public service announcements, posters, bookmarks and a newspaper supplement designed for use in the classroom. The newest campaign, “Friendships Count,” includes posters, bookmarks, a Web page and a YouTube video in an effort to reach students in grades 6 through 12.
