Travis County to Launch Jail Diversion Program with Ribbon Cutting

In a continuous effort to expand local mental health services, Travis County is partnering with groups such as the city of Austin, Central Health, and Integral Care to launch a new pilot program developed to divert those in crisis from jail.

Integral Care's Therapeutic Diversion Pilot Program will facilitate a three-pronged approach to mental health crises in the county. One of the three prongs is a new facility where collaborators will soon cut the ribbon on a 90-day therapeutic respite center with 25 beds.
