TCHATT
Vernon ISD is now partnering with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center to bring our district the Texas Child Health Access Network Through Telemedicine (TCHATT).
TCHATT is a free program that seeks to improve the mental health of communities across Texas through collaboration with independent school districts. TCHATT assists in directing counseling and telepsychiatry to students across our region, link families with community resources, and provide educational materials for school personnel through community learning collaboratives.
Services are available to students in Pre-K through 12th grade.
