Interagency networks with non-profit and social service agencies to better serve our community. We meet from noon to 1:15 pm on the 2nd Tuesday of every month to share with and learn from each other.
Since 2007, we have contracted with Impact Counseling Services (formerly Intervention Services, PLLC) for mental health professionals to serve students, families and staff FREE of charge in Hutto, Taylor, Granger, Bartlett, Jarrell, Thrall and Coupland school districts. Psychiatric services are provided by Jaime Nelson, Mental Health Advanced Nurse Practitioner, with Balcones Psychiatry and Mental Health, making our services comprehensive.
School districts pay a portion of the program cost and provide in-kind accommodations for school-based mental health professionals. Federal, Foundation and Local grants make up the remaining program funds.

Interagency began meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of every month in 1989 under the guidance of Precinct 4 Judge Judy Hobbs with a focus on at risk students. Around 2006, Marge Tripp was appointed as Executive Director. Interagency was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization and a steering committee was gathered to poll the community on what gaps existed- with mental health rising to the top. Then, in 2007, school-based mental health services were initiated.
Ahead of the times, this program has expanded from 1 to 7 school districts. To date, over 7,083 students have received individual therapy, 100,504 consultations have taken place, 361 families have participated in family therapy and 330 students have received psychiatric care.
After 15 years, Interagency will no longer administer the rural school-based mental health program in East Williamson County. Impact Counseling Services Inc will continue this vital program. In 2022-2023, Interagency will focus on bridging other gaps in social services. Exciting times ahead!
