Nueces County LMHA: Nueces Center for Mental Health & Intellectual Disabilities
Dr. Salazar has work experience as a case manager and understands the need and value of having good, reliable, and consistent resources available. This is a list she curated local to the office, Nueces County (Texas), regional, and national resources. However, as there is (not yet!) a case manager on staff for Strengthening Wellness, please do your research and verify application requirements, funding timelines, and if they are accepting new applicants.

Communities of color and populations most in need of systemic and community supports are disproportionately harmed by law enforcement in situations where they are not best equipped to handle these needs. Visit this site for an online directory of resources for community-based crisis response providers sorted by city that are available as alternatives to contacting local law enforcement.
