Texas Panhandle Centers Behavioral and Developmental Health (TPC), formerly known as Texas Panhandle Mental Health Mental Retardation, is part of the Texas Community Center system and is governed by a local board of trustees representing the citizens of the upper twenty-one counties of the Texas Panhandle. We serve individuals with behavioral health needs (mental illness), intellectual and developmental disabilities and children with developmental delays. At the heart of TPC’s work is our mission: To respond to the diverse needs of all people who require behavioral and developmental health services by creating an accessible system of care which supports choices and results in lives of dignity and independence.
