?? Welcome to our latest addition... Ravi Govind joins the Alliance as the Senior Director of Mental Health Services! ??
I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined the Texas Alliance of Child & Family Services (TACFS) as the new Senior Director of Mental Health Services. In this role, I'm committed to expanding mental health access for one of Texas' most vulnerable populations. My focus will be on exploring innovative models of care, strengthening available financial resources, and serving as a key resource for TACFS members on mental health services matters. I hit the ground running, with my first day coinciding with the Alliance's annual Texas Child Care Administrators Conference. I'm inspired by the numerous smart, caring, and dedicated partners I've already met. My mission is to provide a voice for the voiceless and improve the lives of tens of thousands of children across the Lone Star State. If you're involved in mental health services, child welfare, Medicaid, or related areas, I'd love to connect. You can find my contact details in my bio. I'm grateful for this new chapter in my career and excited about the positive impact we can make together. #MentalHealth #ChildWelfare #TACFS #TexasAlliance #NonprofitLeadership
