Eilean MacKenzie - Texana - Crisis Center

Eilean Mackenzie PhD, LPC is a therapist, mental health advocate, and suicide loss survivor.  She has worked at Texana Behavioral Health for the past 15 years. In 2014 she opened and still manages the Texana, adult, Mental Health Crisis Center. She brings together over 30 years of personal and professional experiences in the mental health field to provide education, advocacy and support to those who have family members and/or friends who struggle with mental health issues and thoughts of suicide.  She is on the Advisory board to the Ft Bend Club House, Chairperson on the board for Crossroads Villas, and on the Texas Council, Crisis Special Interest Group. 

When not advocating for those in need she finds time to work in her garden, take care of 3 rescue horses, a donkey, 4 dogs, cats, and a handful of chickens. She has travelled extensively; is an avid hiker and outdoors woman.

Dr Mackenzie will share some of her personal journey working to break the silence about suicide and it’s impact on families.

Rotary Club members are challenged to speak up and ASK about suicide when they see someone struggling. Information will be shared on how to provide support and access resources.

She will share information on Texana’s mobile crisis outreach team and the services the Texana Crisis Center provides to those less fortunate in our community.
