The Care Navigation team consists of friendly experts from Hill Country MHDD Centers who are dedicated to connecting individuals to available resources in their community. This assistance is provided by grant funding through SAMHSA to help address social determinants of health. Social determinants of health are the aspects of living that affect people’s health, well-being, and quality of life, like access to transportation, food, childcare, education services, mental and physical health providers, social connections, etc. Care navigation is provided through one-on-one meetings on a walk-in basis. We understand that everyone's needs are unique, and we will determine, collaboratively, what barriers and needs exist and work together to develop a personalized plan. Walk-ins only, no appointment needed.

Visit us at local wineries and breweries to discuss sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books each month! This month we'll be at Faust Brewing Company.August's Pick is The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine ArdenDuring the Great War, a combat nurse searches for her brother, believed dead in the trenches despite eerie signs that suggest otherwise, in this hauntingly beautiful historical novel with a speculative twist, from the author of The Bear and the Nightingale.January 1918. Laura Iven was a revered field nurse until she was wounded and discharged from the medical corps, leaving behind a brother still fighting in Flanders. Now home in Halifax, Canada, Laura receives word of Freddie’s death in combat, along with his personal effects—but something doesn’t make sense. Determined to uncover the truth, Laura returns to Belgium as a volunteer at a private hospital, where she soon hears whispers about haunted trenches and a strange hotelier whose wine gives soldiers the gift of oblivion. Could Freddie have escaped the battlefield, only to fall prey to something—or someone—else?November 1917. Freddie Iven awakens after an explosion to find himself trapped in an overturned pillbox with a wounded enemy soldier, a German by the name of Hans Winter. Against all odds, the two form an alliance and succeed in clawing their way out. Unable to bear the thought of returning to the killing fields, especially on opposite sides, they take refuge with a mysterious man who seems to have the power to make the hellscape of the trenches disappear.As shells rain down on Flanders and ghosts move among those yet living, Laura’s and Freddie’s deepest traumas are reawakened. Now they must decide whether their world is worth salvaging—or better left behind entirely.January 16: The Clockmaker's Daugher by Kate MortonFebruary 20: Fireborne by Rosaria MundaMarch 20: God of Neverland by Gamma Ray MartinezApril 17: The Spellshop by Sarabeth DurstMay 15: A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky ChambersJune 26: The Pallbearer's Club by Paul Tremblay July 17: Vampires of El Norte by Isabel CanasAugust 21: The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden September 18: Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis October 16: Tales from the Hinterlands by Melissa AlbertNovember 20: Nettle & Bone by T.
