Behind You,Nonprofit,Hospitality Workers

Houston-based nonprofit Southern Smoke has expanded its free mental-health program for hospitality workers into six additional states. The program, called Behind You, is now available to food and beverage workers in Maine, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C.

The program, called Behind You, is now available to food and beverage workers in Maine, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C. via new partnerships with 13 university clinical programs in those states. The expansion means the assistance program is available in a total of 10 states, including Texas.

So far, Texas' University of Houston and University of North Texas are the foundation's sole university affiliate partners. San Antonians looking for counseling resources would use these programs, but thenotes that the University of Houston's program is currently on a waitlist. The status of UNT's program is not shared on the Behind You site.

For now, Alamo City hospitality workers can sign up to receive a referral for counseling services when they again become available, or they can apply to be awarded some of the Foundation’s general funds.
