The following are some of the readily available, regularly updated, resource directories that have service options for El Paso County. These are just a few of the more than 74 lists that were identified by UT El Paso in 2017. There are many more unique lists that parse out service options based on a type of service or a population in need (e.g., Help Me Grow – early childhood intervention, individuals leaving the justice system). These lists are readily available from service providers like FQHCs, emergency shelters, the County Hospital District, YWCA, YMCA, private hospital systems, and others.
There is a new listing under construction that will focus on households with children and youth 0-8 years of age, that is for the Help Me Grow project. I think that will be an exciting addition to these lists.

’21 El Paso Behavioral Health System Assessment
In May 2020, the Paso del Norte Health Foundation engaged the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute (Meadows Institute) to assess the community’s behavioral health system and evaluate the El Paso Behavioral Health Consortium. The goal of this work was to inform the community’s efforts to improve behavioral health services for its residents and to assess local capacity to meet the needs of residents with behavioral health conditions. The 2021 El Paso Behavioral Health System Assessment Executive Summary provides a succinct overview of key findings and recommendations. The full report provides a description of the guiding principles that inform the work of the Meadows Institute and the attributes of the ideal behavioral health system.
Paso del Norte Center at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute
Established by a grant from the Paso del Norte Health Foundation, the Paso del Norte Center provides trusted policy and program guidance to cultivate collaboration and create lasting improvements so that mental health and emotional well-being services and support are available where and when they are needed.
The Healthy Paso del Norte Website Has a new look but what about the data resources?
Regional health data is still readily available from a wide range of sources. With the addition of searchable data across multiple platforms, the regional health data on the Healthy Paso del Norte website was removed on July 15, 2023. Links to regional health data sources can now be found at the Paso Del Norte Health Foundation.
