Youth Mental Health

DHNS Youth is proud to be part of the OST CARES fifth cohort. This TXPOST initiative aims to enhance mental health support in Out-of-School-Time programs across Texas by providing training, technical assistance, and funding to implement universally beneficial practices and activities with youth.

OST Care leverages Texas’ powerful network of afterschool and summer programs to address the ongoing mental health crisis through a holistic approach that strengthens the entire system of support for kids, families, and out of school time professionals across the state.
