Description
History of Capital Area Mental Health Center
Capital Area Mental Health Center (CAMHC) was organized by the Capital Area Psychological Association in 1980 in response to the need for low-cost psychological services to the citizens of Austin and Travis County. During its first year, CAMHC had 51 volunteer psychologists who donated 1,652 hours of therapy time.
It was a new concept. While there were low-cost medical clinics across the nation, no one had developed a mental health clinic using professional volunteers. Without the dedication of pro-bono work shown by our professional volunteers, CAMHC would not have begun.
In the late 1980's CAMHC added a new facet to our mental health services: becoming a training setting for advanced doctoral students and graduate interns in counseling and social work. Therapists-in-training provide therapy as part of their practicum, and maintain a caseload of 2 to 15 clients, investing 6 to 25 hours weekly. The majority of CAMHC therapists are post-graduates, accumulating hours towards their permanent license, or advanced licensure. These therapists are supervised by CAMHC community professional volunteers and CAMHC staff, resulting in one of the strongest, multi-disciplinary training and mental health centers available in the Austin area.
