The Southwest Texas Crisis Collaborative (STCC) is an effort focused on ending ineffective utilization of services for the safety net population at the intersection of mental illness, homelessness, and high utilization in Southwest Texas. STCC is committed to improvement by developing a comprehensive, integrated crisis system across all major public payors, hospital providers, philanthropy, public safety (Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement) and behavioral health providers.
