Why it matters
Mental health affects everyone - whether you're helping family, dealing with stress, or supporting neighbors in crisis. This program keeps trained helpers in our community who know local needs and can connect people to care quickly when they need it most.
If this passes
Three mental health workers will keep helping residents get counseling, crisis support, and wellness resources across all Harris County neighborhoods through 2026.
If this does not pass
The program would lose three staff members, making it harder for residents to get connected to mental health services and crisis support in their communities.
