As partners supporting good mental health and the well-being of our community, West Texas Counseling & Guidance (WTCG), MHMR Services for the Concho Valley and the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council for the Concho Valley will continue to serve the community during this unique and unprecedented time of COVID-19. This coalition understands the importance of behavioral health services continuing without interruption within the Concho Valley. At this time, all three agencies are able to provide face-to-face services, as mental and behavioral health are considered essential to care for our community; however, we are also utilizing technology to provide these critical services through telehealth, as well as providing access to suicide prevention services and a 24-hour hotline. Mental health resources are in need now more than ever as depression, anxiety and negative coping often increase with isolation, inactivity and unconnectedness with one another.
