Mental Health Resource Hub
Welcome to the TTUHSC Mental Health Resource Hub
We've created this site to serve as a hub for all things related to Texas Tech mental health. Our mental health hub can help you find resources for mental health needs all in one place.
We are dedicated to providing resources for mental health that are the key to fostering resilience, growth, and overall wellness. With the help of funding from the state of Texas, our Health Sciences Center has expanded access to child and adolescent mental health care across our local communities and increased the availability of invaluable and vital resources for children and adolescent mental health, adult mental health, clinicians, and communities across the state.
