Deep Centered Mental Health Launches “Mental Health Champions” Competition in Celebration of World Mental Health Day October 10

 In honor of World Mental Health Day, Deep Centered Mental Health, one of Texas’ leading outpatient mental health platforms, is excited to announce the launch of the “Mental Health Champions” competition. The competition invites nonprofit organizations across the state to apply for the chance to receive six months of pro-bono mental health services for recipients. Three organizations will be selected through a community voting process to receive support from Deep Centered Mental Health’s team of over 200 highly-trained clinicians.

How the Competition Works
Nonprofits can apply by visiting and filling out the application at the link here. A panel of mental health professionals will select five finalists based on their mission alignment, community impact, and innovative approaches to mental health challenges. From October 21 through October 31, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist, with the top three organizations receiving six months of free mental health services. The winners will be announced on November 20, 2024.

“Texas continues to face a mental health crisis, with one in five adults experiencing a mental health condition each year, yet access to care remains limited in many communities. At Deep Centered Mental Health, we are committed to addressing this gap by expanding services and offering pro-bono care for those in need. Our goal is to ensure that every Texan, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to high-quality mental health care,” said Dr. Kyler Shumway, Clinical Psychologist at Deep Centered Mental Health.
