STANDING IN
CRISIS
Who has not faced a crisis at one point in their lives? Crisis and trauma knows no age, gender, income-level or race.
And it can happen at any time:
- The diagnosis of a life-threatening disease in the family
- The loss of a job
- The end of a relationship
- Depression
- An automobile accident leaving a family without a means to get to work
- The loss of needed childcare
- Substance abuse
- A victim of domestic violence and her children who have no place to live
- Anxiety
- Financial stress
- Hungry children
- A senior on a fixed income who is quickly being priced out of his or her apartment
- A sick child with no medical insurance

THE MOST
VULNERABLE
The fastest growing county in Texas, Kendall County, is quickly leaving the most vulnerable residents behind through rapidly increasing cost of living and a lack of low-to-no-income services to address crisis and mental healthcare. For example, in a world of technology and innovation, there are still over 5,000 Kendall County residents who face food insecurity—access to quality food is limited by poor health, an absence of transportation, a lack of money or another crisis.
Wholly assessing and addressing the physical, mental and financial needs of an individual or family in crisis by a single provider provides the greatest probability of success.
