Austin Travis County Mental Health Mental Retardation Center's mission is to serve people whose lives are seriously affected by developmental disabilities, mental, emotional and substance abuse disorders.

Description:
ATCMHMR envisions an understanding community that respects and accepts each person's differences and responds with compassionate, comprehensive, and quality services.

Our Values are as follows:
PEOPLE: Our greatest strength is people - clients, family, staff, and the community
EXCELLENCE: We are committed to excellence and continuous improvement to better satisfy customer needs and best value.
INTEGRITY: We promote public confidence and trust by ensuring that our mission is consistent with stakeholder goals, carefully conceived, and well executed.

History:
The Austin Travis County MHMR Center was established in 1967. Its opening was significant because this was the first time that a public, community based mental health and mental retardation services became available to the residents of Austin and Travis County. The center is neither a state agency nor a county department, but a publicly funded, non-profit organization.
