CAN Behavioral Health (CAN) is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of adolescents and adults in East Harris County, Chambers County, and neighboring communities. Since 2007, we have worked tirelessly to support individuals battling behavioral health challenges, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders, addressing the dysfunction that impacts individuals, families, and entire communities.
Why Your Support Matters: The state of Texas is grappling with a mental health crisis. Access to appropriate care remains a significant barrier for many. At CAN Behavioral Health, we provide a comprehensive, integrated, and holistic approach to care, ensuring that those in our community receive the support they need. By contributing, you help us expand vital programs like our adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which offers young people a path toward healing, growth, and resilience.
