The Outpatient Mental Health Services of Loretto Hospital have been serving the needs of the Austin Community since 1960. The mission of the program is to provide comprehensive behavioral health services to enhance self-esteem and the level of functioning of persons with mental illness. To achieve this goal, we provide treatment that attempts to rely upon the strengths of the individual as well as focus on his/her needs. We collaborate with the health care team seeking to offer a sense of well-being, awareness of emotional support systems and community resources. Open 24hrs/365 days, the inpatient mental health program provides beneficial and respectful mental health treatment to adults with serious psychiatric conditions whose current needs cannot be met in a traditional health care facility.
