View Award Description

Comprehensive Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Services - Border Region Behavioral Health Center (BRBHC) a non-profit, tax-exempt contract agency of the State of Texas serving Webb, Zapata, Jim Hogg, and Starr Counties. The Laredo State Center was established as a facility of the Texas Department of MHMR in 1979 by the 66th Texas Legislature to provide services and supports to the citizens of Webb, Jim Hogg, Starr, and Zapata counties. Previously, from 1969 to 1979, the center operated as a mental health outreach clinic of the Rio Grande State Center. Laredo State Center’s administrative and outpatient offices were located in a former Air Force-Base Hospital. The 73rd Texas Legislature approved bond funding for construction of a modern facility through a rider to the General Appropriations Act. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new facility were held in January 1996, on 14.5 acres of land provided in a trust to the Center by the U.S. HHS in 1982. On September 1, 2000, the Laredo State Center transitioned into a community center. Community Centers such as Border Region MHMR, were established in local communities throughout Texas to provide mental health/and mental retardation services to persons most in need of services In 2017, BRMHMR changed its name to BRBHC, employs over 350 people serving 8000 clients with a budget of 20.8 million dollars. BRBHC is designated as a Local Mental Health Authority and a Mental Retardation Authority. This designation reflects the delegation of the State’s authority for planning, policy development, coordination, resource allocation and resource development for and oversight of mental health and mental retardation services in the local service area. BRBHC's mission is to provide cost-effective services that improve the health and quality of life of those we serve by promoting independence within our communities. Our mission statement is achieved by establishing collaborations within our community to provide the best quality care possible. The purpose of this grant is to increase access to and improve the quality of community mental and substance use disorder treatment services in the counties of Webb, Jim Hogg, Starr, and Zapata counties allowing for 24/7 access to crisis intervention services.
