Health to Home is a pathway to healing adults experiencing homelessness through clinical support and housing solutions in the Dallas area. The program provides individualized holistic clinical care, behavioral health, and case management services in a safe environment to adults upon discharge from a hospital setting. The mission is to improve recovery and health outcomes and ultimately connect participants to housing beyond the streets.

Texas Health is grounded in the belief that integrating faith, spirituality and medicine can enhance treatment and the healing process.

When a sexual assault crisis strikes, it's important for victims to receive health care in a safe, respectful, and professional manner. The Texas Health SANE program supports victims of sexual assault through the healing and recovery process. With early intervention, improved health and investigative outcomes are possible and hospitals can play an important role in the collection of physical evidence to aid in the prosecution of sexual assault cases. Victims can be seen and treated at any time of the day or night in several Texas Health emergency departments. SANE-certified nurses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Community education and prevention services are also offered across North Texas and include Human Trafficking, Child Abuse and Reporting, Safe Dating, Cyberbullying, and other topics.

Texas Health Community Impact awards grants to local organizations that work collaboratively to creatively tackle the health disparities and socioeconomic hardships impacting North Texans.

To care for all aspects of health requires a commitment to providing a continuum of care, from prevention- and wellness-based services through specialist care. The community health focus for care continuity involves the education of available resources and helping navigation and connection to the health and social services that are most appropriate. The goal is to help find the medical home that most fits their health needs.

The Pathways Learning Garden & Outdoor Activity program was developed by school garden educators to further support our learning garden efforts. With a mix-and-match approach and more than 30 outdoor and indoor activities and lessons, Pathways offers students, teachers, and the school community engaging and educational learning experiences that can support science, math, nutrition, and environmental curriculum. Anyone, from classroom teachers to afterschool practitioners and school supporters, can use these hands-on guides. Pathways activities are available to all North Texas area schools and organizations that work with students.

Schools pay a key role in creating environments that promote healthy behaviors that last a lifetime. Texas Health offers students a better chance for positive outcomes through learning garden support, literacy programs, refreshed recess areas, walking and active movement initiatives, and increased access to fresh produce and nutrition education. The Texas Health Community Hope School Wellness Network was created to foster and support students and their families through access to many of these evidence-based programs and best practices that promote wellness on campus and at home. The network is open to all North Texas schools.

Literacy and education may be able to help lower incidence of depression, and help increase the likelihood of high school graduation, employment, preventive care, and longer life.

Texas Health provides research-based training for worksite partners and the community at large through Mental Health First Aid training, developed by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.

Through full-day sessions, participants learn to recognize and offer support to anyone demonstrating mental health or substance-abuse symptoms, using a step-by-step action plan. Free courses are offered virtually each month, allowing individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and organizations to participate.
