Background and Discussion:
The Behavioral Health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been profound. Harris County residents have
experienced an increase in stress, mental health crises, substance use-related deaths, suicides, and more. Harris County
approved eleven Behavioral Health awards funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). These programs
invest in programs in the following categories:
• Behavioral health workforce programs
• Counseling for youth & families
• Substance use disorder treatment
Houston Area Women’s Center, Inc., was awarded funding for the Behavioral Health Services Counseling for
Youth and Families program. They provide counseling and behavioral health services to survivors of
domestic violence and sexual assault as well as families in the County in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
