“Erap is dedicated to providing post critical incident care to all emergency first responders and their families who are experiencing emotional trauma due to a critical incident.”

“2015 was a busy and successful year for the emergency responders assistance program. During the year we accomplished many important milestones. In january we filed our incorporation documents with the state of oklahoma. We also filed for our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status with the irs and received approval in march, effective january. Our board of directors and advisory council became active and provided a tremendous amount of guidance as we developed our program and proceeded towards our first post critical incident seminar. A vitally important component that we had to create was our mental health professional and peer team. We were successful in recruiting a nationally recognized mhp and multiple supporting mhps. Additionally, we built our peer team by recruiting four oklahoma highway patrol officers and multiple united states marshal service peers. We also began working on important operational processes. We created our branding, brochures, facebook page, and website. These were very important to the structure of erap and the beginning of our outreach program. Once the legal formation was complete, and board and advisory council recruitment completed as well as operational structure, we then focused on fundraising. Each pcis costs up to 18,500. We were successful in raising the needed funds from grant writing, corporate donations, and individual donations. We also hosted two fundraising events which raised the organization just under 5,000. We created partnerships with organizations that not only believed in our mission, they also contributed to erap by providing food, location, and logistic support. They were critical to our success. Lastly, our ultimate goal was to hold our first post critical incident seminar. We accomplished this goal in october and our second will be held in april, 2016. We have now served forty-two first responders who had experienced very difficult critical incidents. It was a year that many people asked how we went from just beginning to organize to executing our first pcis. Our response is short: we are blessed with great thinkers and people in our organization that care for those who serve our communities. Going forward... In 2016 we have scheduled three post critical incident seminars for april, july, and october. Based on discussions with our advisory council, the july pcis will be moved to january, 2017. The year 2017 will be our busiest year. We are currently scheduling five seminars to add to this ambitious plan we will introduce our arizona chapter. Therefore, we have scheduled two seminar's in arizona for july and november and three in oklahoma for january, april, and october. In addition, to further expand our strategic planning, we are looking to introduce our colorado chapter in late 2018 or early 2019. We will continue to evolve our board of directors by adding an arizona board, which will serve under the oklahoma board. We may also expand our oklahoma board with strategic individuals to help propel erap to a higher level. Lastly, we are focused on becoming a united way organization.”
