"We must see youth as problem solvers — not as problems to be solved."
REACHING TEENS
Cowboy Capital members are working together as a community to provide teens with a system that uses the same language and approach across organizations, ranging from schools to juvenile justice to child welfare and foster care to mental health providers. Paving the Way, a federally funded grant program, is providing the Reaching Teens toolkit to interested member organizations. We will be using it to open community-wide conversations that support trauma-informed, youth-guided services throughout the community.
"We need to fully understand the gaps in care so we can work to fill those gaps."
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Working with Tarleton State University, Cowboy Capital is developing a needs assessment to gain a greater understanding of current resources and the gaps in mental health care that exist in Erath County.
