Crisis counseling services and mental health assistance are available for hurricane victims in Texas through the Crisis Counseling Hotline at 866/773-4243 (toll free). The hotline is operated by Alliance Work Partners, with funding by a grant from FEMA and administered by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Office of Disaster Mental Health Services (DMHS). While some counseling support will be offered over the phone, the hotline will refer the caller to a local provider for home visits or face-to-face meetings at various locations. Crisis counselors are present, or may be reached at many of the FEMA/state disaster recovery centers. In addition, individuals with questions about personal or family reactions to the disaster, including depression, anxiety, stress or other problems, may contact the local county mental health office.
