Betty Hardwick Center

Texas

Local Mental Health Authority for Callahan, Jones, Shackelford, Stephens & Taylor counties (Abilene). Free/low-cost care: 24/7 crisis hotline (800-758-3344), adult & child/adolescent mental health, Elm Creek Psychiatry, Early Childhood Intervention, substance-use treatment & recovery, IDD services, and veteran services (Military Veteran Peer Network). Main (325) 690-5100.

The free 24/7 crisis line is anonymous — call without giving your name or immigration status. Ongoing care falls under health treatment, meaning your health information is confidential, and cost is based on what you can pay. It is not connected to immigration enforcement, especially for remote (not in person) care. In general, you aren't asked immigration status for crisis support or locally-funded services. If this is a concern, ask — or have someone else call and ask — beforehand.
