THE ARC OF TEXAS

The Whole Person Project is an initiative by The Arc of Texas that seeks to expand access to quality mental health services for adult Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Arc of Texas is uniquely positioned to address the mental health care disparities that Texans with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience using our membership base and partner organizations. Those closest to the problem are also those closest to the solution.

During the 2022 year, the Whole Person Project collaborated with self-advocates to share their stories in a short video docu-series. Over the course of a few months we spent a day with each self-advocate in San Antonio, TX. We were able to be a part of their lives for the day and understand their stories at a deeper level.

This was an extremely rewarding project for us that we look forward to doing more of in the future.
