Who We Are

Camille’s Promise is a Texas-based initiative focused on closing the gaps between mental health care, addiction treatment, and insurance coverage—because recovery should not depend on access, timing, or luck.

Camille’s Promise exists to drive systemic reform at the intersection of mental illness, substance use, and insurance failure.

We advocate for policies that ensure:

• Immediate psychiatric evaluation following overdose events

• Access to long-term stabilization—not just short—term crisis care

• Integration between mental health and substance use treatment

• Real enforcement of mental health parity laws

Because recovery requires continuity—and continuity requires a system that works.

Across Texas, families are navigating a fragmented system:

• Emergency rooms stabilize - but do not sustain recovery

• Insurance often denies extended care

• Mental health and addiction services remain siloed

• Workforce shortages limit access statewide

The result is a cycle of crisis, discharge, and relapse—one that is predictable, preventable, and unacceptable.

Camille’s Promise focuses on changing the system.

We are not focused on isolated incidents. We are focused on structural change.

Our work includes:

• Legislative advocacy and policy development

• Engagement with state leaders and regulatory bodies

• Public awareness and media outreach

• Resource alignment for families navigating care

We work to ensure that every touchpoint in the systems leads forward—not back to crisis.

We believe:

• Recovery should be continuous—not episodic

• Care should be coordinated—not fragmented

• Families should not have to navigate this alone

Camille’s Promise is committed to building a system where recovery is possible—and supported—at every stage.
