The Net was founded in 1986 after several crisis had affected the emotional well being of the Bay Area/Clear Lake Area. We then began talking informally about how mental health providers might cooperatively respond to crises and might further promote mental health in the Houston-Galveston bay area.

Our current focus is on providing support and professional development for local mental health providers: providing monthly presentations designed to meet recertification requirements; providing practice issue groups; and providing mentoring and scholarships to help students.  Committees who then report to an executive committee run the NET.  Current standing committees on which members may serve are: Practice Issues; Crisis Response; Membership; Community Relations; Continuing Education and Newsletter.

We are located in the Texas Bay Area, between Houston and Galveston, Texas. Come join us! 

NET meetings are held monthly on the second Tuesday of each month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the United Way Service Center at 1300-A Bay Area Blvd., Houston, Texas 77058. A light lunch is provided.

Membership dues are $35 per year ($20 student memberships).  First time guests brought by a member are free; all other visitors pay $10 per visit.

You can learn more about The NET and look over our online newsletter, or sign up to receive it through email.
