#TexansRecoveringTogether introduces its own new, informative, and robust webpage www.trthotccp.org, a definite innovate addition to the original weblink posted September 17, 2020, via Heart of Texas Region MHMR website.
People in the Heart of Texas Region Mental Health & Mental Retardation (MHMR) Center’s six-county catchment area of McLennan, Bosque, Hill, Falls, Limestone and Freestone counties can access the CCP webpage and browse the tabs on the list of services, who we serve, and a diverse, talented staff of crisis counselors, outreach liaisons and administration who are committed to providing accessible, caring and responsive support services the CCP promises.
“We want to make sure everybody in our six-county region has easy online access to our free, anonymous, and confidential COVID-19 services,” said Vince Erickson, Project Manager for the Heart of Texas MHMR Center. “Consumers will see the services we offer, with the toll-free phone line, (866) 576-1101, as well as the online link to request counseling on each page of our comprehensive website. They’ll also get to see our involvement in the community—after all, our counseling and outreach teams are survivors of the COVID-19 disaster, themselves.”
#TexansRecoveringTogether is a program funded through a short-term relief grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. It uses a strength-based, outreach approach that utilizes crisis counselors to meet individuals or groups in non-traditional and virtual settings in the community to promote resilience, empowerment, and recovery. Counselors can also help people identify and access their own personal resources, as well as community resources to help them cope with this unprecedented disaster.
Crisis counselors at #TexansRecoveringTogether connect survivors with short-term means via phone or virtual appointments for:
–Resource navigation
–Grief support
–Coping skills development
–Psychoeducation
–Problem solving
–Linkage to available support groups (assessments, referral, etc.)
Erickson shared his unabating hope for an optimistic outcome during this distressing time.
“We believe in the resilience of the people of the region, and part of that resilience is the connection we have with the communities,” Erickson said. “It’s important to have a strong website presence to make sure our community have an easy connection to our qualified professionals. Our mission, through June 30, 2021, is to help anybody affected directly or indirectly by COVID-19 by helping people access their own personal resources and community resources to aid in coping with this disaster.”
