Youth suicide prevention in Corpus Christi, Texas
Corpus Christi Medical Center Bayview, a Corpus Christi Medical Center facility, is dedicated to helping prevent suicide among teens and young adults in South Texas.
In partnership with The Jason Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of youth suicide through educational and awareness programs, we are educating our community about youth suicide and how it is impacting families nationwide.
Our team of healthcare professionals understand the magnitude and patterns of suicidal behavior in youth and are trained to provide effective treatment and services to youth who have suicidal thoughts, attempted suicide or engaged in self-harm.

Our behavioral health program is accredited by The Joint Commission for successfully meeting their specific behavioral health care accreditation requirements. This recognition demonstrates our commitment to providing care, treatment, and services of the highest quality.
