Trauma Resilience Team

We are a group of Pierce County MRC volunteers with nationally recognized trauma and mental health training.

Mission

Build trauma resilience in our communities. Respond with trained volunteers to traumatic events, like a death by suicide, mass casualty event or natural disaster.
