Mental Health Targeted Case Management
Mental Health Targeted Case Management (MHTCM) is a service that helps people get the care and support they need. It is available through Texas Medicaid for children, teens, and adults who are living with ongoing mental health challenges.
If you receive MHTCM services, you will have a case manager who works with you one-on-one. Your case manager helps you:
- Find mental health and medical care
- Connect to counseling, therapy, or psychiatric services
- Get help with school, work, housing, or community resources
- Keep track of appointments and services
- Feel supported while navigating systems that can feel overwhelming
You don’t have to figure everything out by yourself. Your case manager’s role is to listen, support you, and help connect you to services that fit your needs.
Services are based on an assessment to make sure this support is right for you. The goal is to help you feel more stable, supported, and confident in managing your care and daily life.
