Uvalde was a mental health desert before tragedy struck, according to residents. Counseling services from across Texas arrived in the city in the weeks following the shooting to offer services to grieving residents who are still processing the loss.
"They don't have health insurance, education about mental health, or they don't have the proper resources available in their community and in the language that they need," Galvan said.
"Traditionally, what happens in the home stays in the home," Rivera said. "What happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors." Lack of access -- not being able to easily find or receive care due to being uninsured or just not living near facilities -- is another factor. Texas was ranked as one of the worst states for mental health care access in 2022, according to nonprofit advocacy organization Mental Health America.& Human Services, which oversees public mental health programs, to a Texas-Mexico border security initiative. The agency told ABC News that the moving of funds would not impact mental health programs.
