What is the DeSoto CARE Team?

We are a multi-disciplinary team providing FREE, community-based support to individuals and families experiencing behavioral health needs and who live in  DeSoto.

What is Behavioral Health?

Behavioral health involves any of the behaviors that affect our physical, mental, and social well-being. It can include mental illness, substance addictions, trauma, stress, intellectual disability, homelessness, etc.

Why the DeSoto CARE Team?

The DeSoto CARE Team recognizes that traditional ways of responding to behavioral health needs has resulted in a constant cycle of responding to behavioral health needs only when there is a crisis. This has left many individuals and families in the community without support after the crisis is over or assistance in preventing another.
