The Pecan Valley Centers Critical Incident Stress Management Program is comprised of volunteer peers to provide crisis support for law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical services, corrections, hospitals, emergency management personnel, dispatchers, educators, and mental health professionals. These peers are members of the Lone Star Critical Incident Response Team covering Johnson, Hood, Somervell, Erath,

Palo Pinto, and Parker Counties. Team is willing to travel outside of these counties if needed.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) provides education, prevention, stress coping techniques and helps mitigate the effects of stress and negative emotional reactions that interfere with a person's ability to function due to an event or the repeated exposure to events. CISM is designed to assist responders who have experienced unusual stress related to their work. CISM is interested in promoting a helpful response throughout the entire range of a crisis experience including: the pre-crisis, acute crisis and post-crisis phases.
