Boldly Serving the Heart of Texas Region’s Behavioral & Mental Health Needs.

Behavioral health is about more than just mental illness—it’s about emotional well-being, healthy relationships, and the ability to cope with life’s challenges. It includes mental health care, substance use support, and everyday tools that help people of all ages thrive.

For children, youth, and families, strong behavioral health means feeling safe, supported, and connected at home, in school, and in the community. For opportunity youth—young people who are disconnected from school or work—it means having access to caring adults, second chances, and the resources to build a brighter future.

When behavioral health is supported across a community, everyone benefits. It leads to stronger families, safer schools, more stable futures, and a deeper sense of belonging for all.

That’s why OCOF is committed to lifting up the systems, voices, and partnerships that make it possible for every young person to be seen, supported, and connected—based on their unique needs and rooted in the strength of their community.
