Welcome to the USFDRC: 

Mental Health Services Command

Our Mission: “Living Recovery in the Present, Offering Hope for the Future”

Our Motto: “Like a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes”

Who We Are? The Mental Health Service Command (MHSC) is a service branch of the United States Fire Department Reserve Corps, (USFDRC) providing services throughout the State of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rico to individuals of all ages through compassionate and professional Mental Health and Behavioral Services. 

 

In Response to Covid-19, the USFDRC: MHSC is providing online video counseling compliant with HIPPA.

 

Although we are in a difficult time, remember to take care of your health and keep your scheduled appointments. Now we could connect with clients via video counseling. If you have a scheduled in-office appointment but cannot attend in person either because you have symptoms or because you do not want to be in public, please register at our Client Portal to switch your appointment to a video counseling visit where you can connect from your home.

 

We welcome all who can benefit from our services. We help understand options in a dignified and respectful way. We provide quality information and helpful options that can guide people to resources of their choice; ultimately supporting their decisions to connect to available services.

 

Our service Coordination provides quality case management services by helping people understand what their choices are and connecting them to resources in their communities in ways that respect their dignity and rights.

 

  • Experienced: We have been providing behavioral health services with highly experienced professionals, working with people of all ages and backgrounds.
  • Compassionate: We offer accessible, person-focused services that are respectful of individual experiences and capabilities.
  • Evidence-Based: Our programs all incorporate practices that are shown to be effective through rigorous research and evaluation.
  • Knowledgeable: Our providers are highly trained, and their expertise, skill, and professionalism are recognized throughout our community.

  • Community-Based: We provide services in a variety of settings, including the home, at schools, at Primary Care Provider locations, and our locations.

Our skilled staff encompasses the broad scope of behavioral health disciplines with expertise in a wide range of evidence-based practices.

 

Program Overview

  • We offer a variety of programs for children adolescents, adults, elders, and their families.
  • Our approach is strength-based, positive, and goal-directed.
  • Treatment plans are designed in collaboration with clients, their families, their medical healthcare providers, and other natural supports and community resources.

Treatment Works

  • Evidence-based practices guide our work. These practices are established by rigorous scientific research and have been proven effective in achieving positive behavioral health outcomes.
  • We believe treatment and recovery are ongoing processes in which choice, education, advocacy, and hope are key elements.

Your Next Step

  • We provide treatment services where and when they are needed at our offices, schools, Primary Care locations, transitional housing sites, businesses, and community centers.
  • Medicaid and most major insurances are accepted. No insurance? We will help you figure it out.

Our mobile applications (apps) provide self-help, education, and support following trauma. We also have treatment companion apps, for use with a healthcare provider, to make treatment easier. There are apps for iOS and Android devices.

 

PTSD is a serious mental health condition that often needs professional evaluation and treatment. These apps are not intended to replace needed professional care.
