VETERANS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Greater Houston is home to more than 300,000 veterans, many of whom face mental and behavioral health challenges during their transition to civilian life. While our region has a strong network of veteran-serving organizations, justice-involved veterans remain among the most underserved.

MHA of Greater Houston’s Veterans’ Behavioral Health Program supports these veterans through peer mentorship and strong partnerships with Veterans Treatment Courts in Harris, Fort Bend, and Galveston counties. Veterans are connected to peers with lived experience who provide one-on-one support, group support, crisis assistance, and referrals to mental health, health, and social services.

Through peer support and community collaboration, the program helps veterans stabilize, recover, and successfully reintegrate—strengthening both individual lives and the broader veteran support system.
