Mental Health Awareness Project

Our Vision

The South Bexar County Mental Health Awareness Project for the K-16 Workforce (MHAPS) is an outreach and training-focused initiative that envisions an academic setting wherein all staff, teachers, and stakeholders are able to identify the early signs and symptoms of mental illness and substance abuse and provide the early support and linking to resources that promote well-being and recovery.
