What We Do

Our Work Focus

The Texas Coalition for Healthy Minds works to strengthen mental health and substance use systems in Texas by advancing policy solutions that improve access to care, support recovery, and strengthen communities. Through collaboration among member organizations, the coalition identifies priorities, shares expertise from the field, and works with policymakers to advance solutions that improve how these systems serve Texans.

Substance Use

Strengthening the recovery ecosystem by expanding access to prevention, treatment, and recovery support services, while advancing policies that support long-term recovery and stability. The Coalition works to ensure that substance use policy reflects the experiences of providers, recovery organizations, and communities across Texas.

System Solutions
