SAN ANGELO, Texas — Community partners, West Texas Counseling & Guidance, MHMR Services for the Concho Valley and the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Council for the Concho Valley, are continuing serving the community during this unique and unprecedented time of COVID-19.

The coalition understands the importance of behavioral health services continuing without interruption within the Concho Valley, according to a press release.

"At this time, all three agencies are able to provide face-to-face services, as mental and behavioral health, are considered essential to care for our community; however, we are also utilizing technology to provide these critical services through telehealth, as well as providing access to suicide prevention services and a 24-hour hotline. Mental health resources are in need now more than ever as depression, anxiety and negative coping often increase with isolation, inactivity, and unconnectedness with one another," the release said.

MHMR Services for the Concho Valley Crisis Line – 325-653-5933 or 800-375-8965
