Project Janus, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation whose purpose is to support the most appropriate level of preventative care, treatment and crisis intervention services for constituents affected by a dual diagnosis of intellectual disability and mental illness (ID/MH). We are also committed to providing supportive education and services for the extended family members and caregivers of these individuals. Project Janus seeks to accomplish these purposes by supporting programs and service structures designed to assist individuals with a dual diagnosis of ID/MH to live more successful and rewarding lives.
Located in San Angelo, Texas, Project Janus, Inc. was created in response to community recognition that individuals with a dual diagnosis of ID/MH were unable to access many of the services they required within the sprawling, sparsely populated area of West Texas in which they currently reside. Together, representatives from the MHMR Service Center for the Concho Valley, San Angelo State Supported Living Facility, area law enforcement, public schools and local institutions of higher education, area health care facilities, the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce and private providers of ID/MH services brainstormed as to how to better serve this special population in our area. From these brainstorming sessions, Project Janus, Inc. was formed. The name of the organization was chosen to reflect the Roman god Janus, who could look in two directions at the same time, even as those who provide services to individuals with a dual diagnosis of ID/MH must look in two directions at the same time to provide effective treatment supports and services.
Our goal is to determine and develop a coordinated continuum of services designed to enhance the ability of individuals with a dual diagnosis of ID/MH to function at their highest levels. At the heart of our work is the belief in an integrated therapeutic approach that supports behavioral learning and growth over the life span.
