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.June's pick is The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay A cleverly voiced psychological thriller from the nationally bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and Survivor Song.What if the coolest girl you’ve ever met decided to be your friend?Art Barbara was sonot cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friendthought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.Okay, that part was a little weird.So was her obsessive knowledge of a notorious bit of New England folklore that involved digging up the dead. And there were other strange things – terrifying things – that happened when she was around, usually at night. But she was his friend, so it was okay, right?Decades later, Art tries to make sense of it all by writing The Pallbearers Club: A Memoir. But somehow this friend got her hands on the manuscript and, well, she has some issues with it. And now she’s making cuts.Seamlessly blurring the lines between fiction and memory, the supernatural and the mundane, The Pallbearers Club is an immersive, suspenseful portrait of an unusual and disconcerting relationship.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 Pallbearers 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.
