For almost six decades, Metrocare has been at the forefront of accessible, high-quality mental health and intellectual & developmental disability (IDD) services in Dallas County. As the largest provider of mental health and IDD services in Dallas County, Metrocare delivers a broad range of care for approximately 50,000 people each year, including over 9,000 children and teens. We coordinate all publicly funded IDD programs as Dallas County’s Local Intellectual Developmental Disability Authority.

Texas is ranked last in the country for access to mental health care according to a 2024 report by Mental Health America. Metrocare works to make care accessible and affordable through its 11 clinics located throughout Dallas County. Through our work to train future mental health professionals and provide community outreach to expand awareness and reduce the stigma of mental illness, Metrocare is actively helping community members find meaningful and satisfying lives every day through more than 3,000 daily clinical encounters.
At Metrocare, we serve our neighbors with developmental or mental health challenges by helping them find lives that are meaningful and satisfying.
Texas is home to nearly 1.5 million veterans, the largest veteran population in the country. With over 40% of veterans struggling with mental health or substance use, accessible mental health care is a growing and critical need (Texas Health & Human Services, 2024).
Additionally, a growing number of veterans identify with racial or ethnic minority populations and many are women or gender-diverse (Pew Research Center, 2023).
The Cohen Clinic at Metrocare is able to deliver mental health care through a holistic approach, offering childcare options and telehealth appointments to make it easier for clients to access high-quality care.
With your help, the Cohen Clinic can continue expanding staff to address the growing need for mental health care for veterans, active-duty service members, and military families.
