Our Priorities

Thriving Communties across our region

Support the stabilization and expansion of services in ways that best serve children, youth and young adults in rural communities.

 

why this matters to our community

In the Heart of Texas, many families live in rural areas where resources are limited or hard to reach. OCOF is dedicated to strengthening and expanding services that meet the unique needs of these communities—because every child, youth, and young adult deserves access to care close to home.

By collaborating with local partners and listening to those who know their communities best, we work to ensure that support is not only available but accessible, equitable, and responsive to rural life.

Her passion for this work is deeply rooted in her lived experience with a mental health disorder that began in early adolescence, her role as a mother to a young, neurodivergent child, and her background as an early childhood development professional.
