Youth Mental Health Council

Young minds
matter…

They are our future – our county will thrive if our children grow up healthy, happy and educated. They are our children, and their well-being relies on a community that supports its families.

Growing up isn’t easy…

In addition to food and shelter, children need love and security, recognition, education and respect to feel safe, happy and confident. They live in a society where values are constantly changing, and often encounter additional stresses – divorce, social pressures, death in the family, economic difficulties and other factors beyond their control. At a time when children are forming life-long values, attitudes and mental health, they may need help beyond the resources of the family and classroom.

Community resources can help

Bexar County offers mental health support through social service agencies, health systems, counseling centers, school systems and a variety of non-profit organizations offering services for families, adolescents and children.

Young Minds Matter Monitors and Identifies

Young Minds Matter focuses on helping parents and youth in our city recognize youth mental health issues and identify resources for help. The Council is a multi-disciplinary group of community members with representatives from local agencies and organizations involved in supporting healthy young minds.
