Inspired by the Mental Health Task Force, Mental Advocacy Partners – Comal (MAP) is both an online and face-to-face resource for those affected by mental health struggles.
The goal of MAP is to provide an accessible, confidential connection between those in need and the professionals at partner organizations who provide help and hope.
The partners share resource materials, coordinate services and plan community-wide mental health events. MAPcomal.org and several social media pages are maintained by the partners spreading a positive message of recovery and working to reduce the stigma associated with mental health struggles.
The purpose of MAP (Mental Advocacy Partners) is to provide hope, as well as information on mental health in Comal County.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders found in the nation. Scientists are not sure what causes ADHD but believe genetics, environmental factors, and even nutrition may play a part.
People who live with ADHD may:
- Become easily distracted, forgetful, and miss details
- Have difficulty following directions
- Become quickly bored with tasks
- Have trouble completing and turning in homework
- Fidget and squirm in their seats
- Talk nonstop
If you think you or someone you love just can’t focus, find help and hope by contacting one of these local organizations.

Drinking doesn’t always lead to alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction.
However, if alcohol causes issues at work, school, home, or in your relationships you should reach out to talk.
Symptoms of issues with alcohol include:
- Can’t remember what you did while drinking
- Needing more and more to feel “good” or de-stress
- Hurting yourself or others when drinking
- Having others worried about your drinking
- Feeling sick to your stomach, sweating, shaking, or feeling anxious while not drinking
- Hiding your drinking or lying to others about it
- Neglecting responsibilities at school or work
If you think you or someone you love may have a problem with alcohol, find help and hope at one of these local organizations.
