Did you know that Texas has ranked LAST in access to mental healthcare across the country since 2019? *insert sad cowboy emoji here* Every year, Mental Health America ranks the states based on how much access to mental healthcare exists within the state. The access measures include access to health insurance (that has mental health benefits), access to treatment options, quality and cost of health insurance, cost of services with the use of health insurance benefits, access to special education, and availability of providers within the mental health workforce. Access to mental healthcare in Texas is low due to a number of reasons: 🔸Texas has the highest number of individuals who are uninsured (nearly twice the national average) and the private pay rates for mental health providers are not always affordable for some Texans 🔸Even if a Texan does have health insurance, mental health benefits may not be available as a part of their plan or their plan may only cover certain mental illnesses - Texas plans are only required to offer the minimum mandated benefits for mental health 🔸Even if a Texan does have health insurance that covers mental health services, many individuals and families are required to meet their astronomically high deductible before their health insurance plan covers any portion of their visits - and those costs can add up quickly 🔸There are simply not enough mental health providers to provide Texans with adequate mental healthcare - 2/3 of Texas counties don't have a single psychiatrist and a number therapists have waitlists that are months, even years, long As a part of our mission to help make mental healthcare more accessible, New Perspective Counseling Services is proud to have providers on our team who have immediate availability for members of our community who are struggling with their mental health AND providers who offer significantly reduced rates for those in our community who are uninsured, out-of-network, have high-deductible plans, or are on a tight budget and can't make other private pay options work for them. If you are in need of counseling services, please reach out to our front office and let us help you experience your best mental health today!

American youth are facing a mental health epidemic. Childhood and adolescence are critical times for physical and mental development. According to the 2022 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report, 20% of youth (ages 3 to 17) are living with a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral issue, condition, or disorder. Now, more than ever, it is important that we acknowledge the struggles of our youth and get them the help that they need. There is a role for everyone to play in supporting our children, teens, and their mental health. Parents, family members, teachers, school administrators, and healthcare providers can create protective relationships with our youth to help them grow into the mentally healthiest versions of themselves.
