Hosts Kelsi Wilmot and Tyler Townsend welcome Haley Salazar, Program Manager of the Texans Recovering Together Crisis Counseling Program (CCP) under Hill Country MHDD, to share post-flood support and resources for the community.
Haley explains how she moved from the Kerr Clinic to disaster response after the July floods and describes CCP as a non-clinical outreach team that provides emotional support and “holds space” for people in homes, schools, businesses, and community locations while also connecting them to partner agencies for practical help. They highlight key resource hubs, including the Kerr Together Disaster Relief Center (98 Coronado Dr., Kerrville, Mon–Fri 9–5) and Light on the Hill, discuss the importance of completing the i-STAT to help communities meet thresholds for assistance, and validate community frustration while emphasizing support for both directly and indirectly impacted residents. They also preview Suicide Awareness Month fundraising and tattoo-shop partnerships. Contact: 819 Water St., Mon–Fri 8–5; 830-928-9022; Emotional Support Center 830-955-1745.
