Sometimes the hardest part of getting help is not knowing where to turn.
For many patients at People’s Community Clinic, daily life comes with real challenges, such as making ends meet, living in unsafe or unstable housing, navigating language barriers, managing chronic illness, or becoming a parent without a support system. Others face depression, anxiety, or additional mental health concerns that can quietly, but powerfully, affect their overall health.
These challenges are more common than many realize, and they take a serious toll on both physical and mental well-being. To meet the need, People’s Community Clinic offers Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH): care designed to support the whole person, not just the physical symptoms.
A Growing Need, a Coordinated Response
Last year alone, People’s Community Clinic provided care to more than 21,000 Central Texans. Nearly 6,000 of those visits were related to behavioral health. These numbers are a clear signal that mental health care is not a side service, but an essential part of community health.

At People’s, mental health care is not siloed or treated as an afterthought. Instead, care teams and case managers work together to address the patient’s mental and physical health simultaneously. This coordinated approach leads to better outcomes, stronger relationships, and care that meets patients where they are.

Programs like Integrated Behavioral Health exist because of community support. Over the past year, funding uncertainty and system-wide changes have created real challenges, even as demand for services continues to grow.
