Texas Panhandle-Plains Partnership for Children and Families - The Rural Counties' Initiative (RCI), for Resiliency and Recovery in Systems of Care will enhance and expand the systems of care approach in the chiefly rural, 30 county region of the Texas Panhandle. RCI's local and regional SOC accomplishments will have a much broader statewide impact by providing an effective framework that can serve as a prototype for the other 168-rural/frontier counties in Texas, ensuring the widespread adoption of systems of care. RCI is a collaborative endeavor of The Panhandle-plains Partnership for Children and Families. Key leadership roles are being provided by Central Plains Center (CPC), Texas Panhandle Centers (TPC), and the Llano Estacado Alliance for Families (LEAF). CPC and TPC are community behavioral health centers. CPC's central office is in Plainview and provides behavioral health services to 9 rural and frontier counties; TPC's main office is in Amarillo and serves 21 counties "19 rural/frontier and 2 urban. The Texas Panhandle faces cultural and geographical challenges common in rural jurisdictions including poverty, isolated communities, inadequate access to care, and significant stigma associated with mental health care. Our initiative will serve young people, ages 13 to 21experiencing serious emotional disturbance and their families.
