Texas County Emergency Response Team
Behavioral Health and Crisis Response Unit
Supporting our Community and First Responders in times of crisis.
the Medical Reserve Corps is a federal program managed by the Texas County Emergency Response Team
Welcome
We are a volunteer-led program under the Texas County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)
Our trained volunteers deploy side-by-side with TCERT during disasters, critical incidents and prolonged operations to provide immediate psychological first-aid, peer support, and stress-first-aid to first responders, volunteers and affected community members using nationally recognized MRC and SAMHSA approved protocols.
*We are not licensed therapists and do not provide ongoing counseling or therapy. We are part of the on-scene response team. We are a support for our community - helping everyone to stay strong when it matters most.
Rural communities are some of the most underserved
More than 127 million Americans or 37%, live in a designated mental health professional shortage area. (HRSA, 2025)
The ones that save lives in our community are some of the most underserved.
First Responders face unique trauma exposure and suicide-risk and stigma remains a barrier in the fire/ems service. (IAFF)
Nationwide , only 26.9% of mental health needs are being met.

Even as a non-professional a volunteer can make a difference in someone's life who is experiencing trauma. In our rural setting where mental health professionals are few and far between, a properly trained volunteer with the desire to serve others, can make a lifetime of difference.
