As we come to the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re featuring Good Neighbor Settlement House, a Texas-based nonprofit that is a strong mental health advocate! Good Neighbor Settlement House provides essential services including food distribution, shelter assistance, case management, and programs that promote wellness, self-sufficiency, and community engagement to vulnerable individuals and families in Brownsville, TX. Mental health is essential to the mission of Good Neighbor Settlement House because it directly impacts the overall well-being, resilience, and long-term stability of the individuals and families we serve. As a community-based organization dedicated to addressing poverty, homelessness, and food insecurity, they recognize that mental health is deeply interconnected with these issues. Trauma, stress, and emotional distress often accompany the social and economic barriers that clients face, and without mental health support, long-term progress becomes significantly harder to achieve.
