For nearly 60 years, Metrocare has been a trusted leader in providing accessible, high-quality mental health and intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services to individuals and families across Dallas County. As the county’s largest provider of mental health and IDD care, Metrocare serves approximately 50,000 people annually, including more than 9,000 children and adolescents. Metrocare also serves as Dallas County’s Local Intellectual and Developmental Disability Authority (LIDDA), coordinating all publicly funded IDD services for the community.
Through a comprehensive continuum of care, Metrocare provides:
At a time when access to mental health care remains a significant challenge, Metrocare is committed to ensuring that care is available, affordable, and delivered where it is needed most. Through 11 clinics strategically located across Dallas County, Metrocare provides more than 3,800 clinical encounters each day, helping individuals and families access vital behavioral health and support services close to home.
Beyond direct care, Metrocare invests in the future of mental health by training the next generation of professionals, expanding community outreach, and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. Through these efforts, Metrocare empowers people of all ages to achieve greater independence, build resilience, and lead meaningful, fulfilling lives.
Your support helps make this possible. Every gift strengthens Metrocare’s ability to provide life-changing care, expand access to services, and ensure that no member of our community faces mental health or developmental challenges alone.
At Metrocare, we serve our neighbors with developmental or mental health challenges by helping them find lives that are meaningful and satisfying.
This year, more than ever, Metrocare needs the support of our community to ensure continued access to vital mental health care, disability services, and housing programs.
Several of our most critical services remain significantly underfunded despite growing demand. These include our Military and Veterans Clinic, which provides specialized mental health care for service members and veterans; our mental health clinic at The Bridge, which serves individuals experiencing homelessness; our Homeless Street Outreach program, which connects vulnerable individuals to care and resources where they are; and our EMPOWER program, which delivers mental health support directly to school-aged youth in their communities.
Community investment is essential to sustaining and expanding these life-changing programs for those who need them most.
Metrocare upholds the person-centered philosophy to focus care on the needs of individual. We pride ourselves on ensuring individual preferences, needs, and values guide clinical decisions and our commit to providing care that is respectful of and responsive to those we serve. We see ourselves as partners in healing with our clients and their support network.
At Metrocare, inclusion is how we unleash the power of diversity. We strive to foster belonging and empowerment at work. Specifically, we are a stand for anti-racism, we are a voice for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC (Black / Indigenous / People of Color), we are culturally competent for our military family, and we are a Trauma-Informed Company (TIC).
Our hiring practices over the last ten years have resulted in a diverse workforce that reflects the clients we serve. Our staff and clients consistently average 50% African American and 26% Hispanic.
