Founded in 1967, Integral Care prides itself on providing quality, community-based services for Travis County residents with brain-based disorders. Integral Care’s historical beginning marked the first time that public, community-based behavioral health and intellectual disabilities services became available, known as community centers. Integral Care was known as the Austin Travis County Mental Health Mental Retardation Center until September 2009, when its name was changed to reflect evolving attitudes and terminology and to honor the dignity of people who seek our services. As of November 2011, Integral Care was accredited by the Joint Commission, ensuring Integral Care's continuous quality improvement and standard of services. Integral Care was also awarded the CEO Cancer Gold Standard accreditation in November 2011 for its commitment to employee health, taking extensive, concrete actions in key areas of health and wellness to fight cancer in the workplace. In 2013, Integral Care was awarded National Council for Behavioral Health's Community Impact Award for Mental Health First Aid. Integral Care's programs are administered through the following service areas: Adult Behavioral Health, Child and Family, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Psychiatric Crisis Services and Jail Diversion. Services can include psychiatric evaluations, 24-hour crisis interventions, medication treatment, inpatient treatment, employment and vocational services, service coordination, family support and respite care, housing, information and referral, supported living and residential services. Integral Care also provides community services in homes, on the streets or at other sites as needed.

We believe in the transformational power of acceptance. As an Austin nonprofit focused on helping youth and young adults, we work every year with thousands of young men and women who’ve endured circumstances that are unimaginable. Abuse. Neglect. Abandonment. Violence. Many have endured years of moving from one foster care placement to another without ever knowing a single adult that they could depend on. Others have had to survive years of unstable or unsafe family situations. And far too many are forced into homelessness to escape intolerable circumstances for the "freedom" of life on the streets. We’ve all seen the depressing statistics. But what can be done to make an impact on these statistics? More important, what are we willing to do to turn around the very real lives behind the statistics? We are fearless in our commitment to success. From our emergency shelter and counseling services to our education services, workforce training and transitional living – everything we do is focused on creating self-sufficient individuals, and in turn, strong, stable families. LifeWorks Youth & Family Alliance offers more than 20 programs that can be accessed alone or in combination to help our youth and families achieve self-reliance. This comprehensive approach quickly identifies and initiates the right mix of services to support each client’s individual goals by bringing together all of the strengths of LifeWorks in a focused, actionable framework. Empowering better futures requires proven, measurable results. We do not shy away from data. We embrace it. It’s why we use a results-based accountability model to assess the impact and effectiveness of our services. It is also why we are one of the only area nonprofits accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Services to Children and Families. Because we know that all our passion, commitment and hard work must produce consistent, measurable, positive outcomes for our organization to make an impact.
