Mental Health Services
Your mental health is as important as your physical health. As the mental health authority for Galveston and Brazoria counties, Gulf Coast Center can help if you are having a mental health crisis now or need ongoing support to help you manage an ongoing mental illness.
Our mental health services include a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency and stabilization services, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care, counseling, and skills and education training. We serve adults, children, and adolescents.
We coordinate patient care activities with other partner community agencies in order to provide well-rounded care. Our goal is to know and understand the needs and preferences of those we serve. Communicating and providing care at the right time and with the right partners helps increase safe, proper, and effective care. Services provided are tailored to each person’s needs.

NIA also provided family advocacy resources and parenting skills workshops via the Family Rites of Passage program.

The vision of Sea Star Base Galveston (SSBG) is to create a place where through high adventure at the edge of, and on the water, all people, especially youth, have an opportunity for growth and discovery of their duty to God and Country, others, and themselves.
This aquatic community base will be a launching point from which many will enjoy on-the-water programs for the very first time, while others will find a means to reclaim their sense of independence. Still, others will discover lifelong hobbies or even their vocation.
The various components of SSBG will work together, just like the parts of a sailboat, to support this course of discovery.

Project CHANGE is for youth, young adults and families (ages 3-20) who have not benefited from traditional services in the past.
This model may be a good fit for those at risk of out-of-home placement due to struggling with their behavior at home or in school; those who need care and support upon discharge from psychiatric hospitals or residential treatment programs; those involved with the police, court system or child protective services; or those facing challenges transitioning into adulthood.
Our program hopes to be different than services you have received in the past by implementing the Wraparound and system of care approach to improve how you access care, build supports, and take charge of your healthcare needs.
