Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Goal 1:Grow, expand, scale or increase access to our existing programs and services.
Goal 2: Our commitment to further our advocacy work for our organization and or cause area.
Goal 3: Invest in the capacity of our organization

We provide the greater Houston/Galveston area with affordable mental health services, with a fee adjustment scale based on income. We seek to prevent and mitigate mental health issues by making care readily available in the places where people live, work, study, worship, and receive primary health and social services. This year we plan to expand our offerings with psychiatric care, and to continue our partnership with school districts to provide in-school services.

With the support of our collaborative partners, we are able to expand our services to be able to meet the client where they live and work. By doing so, we are able to remove barriers that otherwise would of prevented the client from receiving mental health services.

KSC has been able to reach several hundred clients over the past year by providing services onsite and free of charge to clients. This has resulted in positive outcomes for clients and higher level of functioning reported by clients.
