Who We Are

We are a team that is overwhelmingly passionate for the transitional age youth population, the support of mental wellbeing, and wish to enact the change that the Dallas area community is in desperate need of. We recognize that our youth are the future, and that they are currently gravely under supported in this crucial transitional phase of their lives. Our youth deserves better. In addition to empowering youth in their journey towards adulthood, the program has the overarching goal of creating an accessible network of all supportive services – inside and outside of Metrocare, mental health and otherwise – fostering an environment where our youth can flourish into adulthood.
