El TDAH es un trastorno de salud mental común, especialmente reconocido por niñes hiperactivos, demasiado observadores y investigadores, que presentan dificultades escolares por falta de atención. En adultes, también se manifiesta comúnmente como problemas para administrar el tiempo, el dinero o para terminar las tareas iniciadas.

Asly Guevara conversó con Univision 45 Houston sobre los aspectos básicos del TDAH y cómo los padres pueden reconocerlo en sus hijes o en sí mismos.

Last week, we partnered with Houston Building Owners and Managers Association and Council Member Twila Carter to host a Building Change: Community Impact event at our center for supportive housing at 419 Emancipation Avenue, and we are so grateful to everyone who donated their time to help feed our guests, assemble care packages, and participate in beautification and renovation projects around the facility.

419 Emancipation Ave is one of the first stops our Harris County community members come to in their path to permanent housing. With access to health and psychiatric care, paperwork guidance, educational classes, and pet housing, our guests have a safe space to rest, think, and plan ahead for their future 🏡🧡

The Harris Center joins our community in mourning Rep. Garnet Coleman, a steadfast champion for mental health in Texas. We are grateful for his decades of leadership, advocacy, and service.

Former Texas state Rep. Garnet F. Coleman, a longtime Houston lawmaker who represented House District 147 for more than 30 years, has died at 65.

Coleman’s legislative legacy included expanding children’s health care coverage, strengthening mental health services, supporting criminal justice reform and advocating for Houston-area universities. Details about services and arrangements will be announced later.
