Scheib Youth Crisis Respite

In partnership with Hill Country MHDD, the Scheib Youth Crisis Respite Center serves teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 who are experiencing a need for a short-term “break” from a pending or existing stressor. Referrals can be self or family-initiated. Referrals may also come from schools, law enforcement, mental health facilities, hospitals, and local mental health professionals.

​

The center provides short-term residential crisis services to youth at low risk of harm to themselves or others. Respite services are provided in a safe, caring, traditional home environment with 24-hour supervision. Activities are individualized to target and alleviate the immediate challenges youth and/or families are experiencing. While at the Center, youth continue their education and are offered social and recreational activities.
