Working Hand-in-Hand with Psychiatric Care Providers
Family Service of El Paso facilitates access to psychiatric care at our facilities through our partnership with Project Vida.
Psychiatric care is scarce in our community, especially for lower-income clients. At Family Service, we are uniquely positioned to serve clients by offering therapists and prescribers under the same roof.
This improves collaboration and provides better quality of care to our clients.
