Name change for the Border Children's Mental Health Collaborative

We are excited to inform you we have changed our name from Border Children’s Mental Health Collaborative to El Paso County Department of Mental Health Support Services.

The El Paso Commissioners Court made official the name change on January 23, 2012 to reflect more accurately the County’s commitment to mental health for our community. This new name provides a better description of the services we provide and captures more precisely the mission of our organization: helping clients with mental health issues to achieve the best possible outcomes. 

Since its inception, the Border Children’s Mental Health Collaborative was not limited to only serving children as the name suggested. We instituted a wrap-around approach and provided a wide array of services that included working with families, adults, community agencies, organizations, schools, and other entities. Our goal has always been to maximize our resources while providing services in a cost-effective manner, preventing duplication, and providing a continuum of care for those involved in multiple systems.

El Paso County Department of Mental Health Support Services is committed to long-term sustainability and exciting growth that is led by a team of highly committed professionals who are passionate about what they do and who they serve.

Thank you for your continued support as we take El Paso County Mental Health Support Services forward.
