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 and North Carolina 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.
