Tarrant County Mental Health Centers

MHMR of Tarrant County is the county's community mental health provider, and most of what distinguishes it is reachable before anyone becomes a client. Its ICARE Call Center takes calls and texts on 800-866-2465, and a Mobile Crisis Outreach Team provides face-to-face crisis response 24 hours a day to children, adolescents and adults anywhere in Tarrant County — the team comes to the person rather than the other way round. Families expecting a child or raising one under five can reach Help Me Grow North Texas on 844-689-5437 for early support.

Mesa Springs treats mental health and addiction in Fort Worth, beginning every admission with an assessment by a qualified mental health professional rather than a fixed intake track. Alongside its general programming it runs Help for Heroes, a named outpatient service built for military personnel, veterans and first responders — a population whose treatment needs and confidentiality concerns differ enough that a general program often does not fit.

Carrus Behavioral Health is the children's and adolescent arm of Carrus Health, which has operated in Texas and Oklahoma since 2008. Its partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs are for ages 8 to 17, and its inpatient hospital takes children and adolescents from age 5, so a family moving between levels of care stays inside one organization. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by Texas Health and Human Services.

BasePoint Academy provides mental and behavioral health treatment for teenagers and adolescents in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Its model is shaped by what keeps families out of treatment rather than by levels of care alone: same-day assessments by phone, scheduling built to fit around school with academic support, and a virtual option for families who cannot travel to a site several times a week.
