Mental Health

Mental health is how we think, feel and act as we cope with life. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Like physical health, mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

AHECs offer informational materials and presentations about a variety of topics that impact or influence mental health.

East Texas AHEC has joined the National Institutes of Mental Health’s Outreach Partnership Program as the NIMH Outreach Partner for the Texas Border Region.

The NIMH Outreach Partnership Program competitively selects organizations to serve as Outreach Partners. These Outreach Partners conduct mental health outreach and education programs designed to inform the public about mental disorders, alcoholism and drug addiction, and to increase public awareness and understanding of mental health research conduct and benefits. These programs are based on the most recent scientific findings, provided by NIMH, SAMSHA, and NIDA. For more information…
