The Chaplain Emergency Response Team in Tyler, TX for All Of Smith County

The Chaplain Emergency Response Team in East Texas is here to serve our local emergency workers. We listen, encourage, and provide resources to police officers, firemen, nurses, and news crews.

Many first responders have seen and experienced traumatic events in the line of duty. Our team is here to offer support. We build relationships with local first response teams by visiting fire stations, police stations, hospitals, and jails to let emergency workers know we are here when they need us.

We have chaplains in Smith County, Greg County, Rusk County, and Cherokee County available 24/7 to speak with you. All of our chaplains are first responders themselves and ICPC certified chaplains. We’ve been in your shoes and are here to offer a listening ear when you need to talk to someone.

SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE US

It’s OK to not be OK. As a chaplain team made up of first response personnel, we’ve been there. Few people understand the experiences emergency workers encounter day to day or the effect those experiences can have on them. If you are a police officer, EMT, or fireman, and are processing a traumatic event, you are not alone and you are not abnormal. Rather, you are having a normal response to an abnormal event.

As a first responder, you have a heavy burden to bear. We are here to help you carry it so you don’t have to do it alone. Contact the Chaplain Emergency Response Team today, and we will sit down with you, listen to you, and help you access any resources you may need.
