Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine
The Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) program seeks to improve the mental health of communities across our region in Texas
through collaboration with independent school districts (ISDs).
TCHATT assists in directing counseling and telepsychiatry to students, linking families with community resources, and providing educational materials for school personnel through community learning collaboratives. This valuable program spans across the Panhandle Plains region of Texas and extends slightly into the Big Bend, Hill Country, and Prairies and Lakes regions.
