Welcome to the Emergency Responders Assistance Program (ERAP). ERAP is dedicated to providing emotional support to emergency first responders who experienced psychological trauma following critical incidents. ERAP, a non-profit organization of citizens who deeply care about those who protect us, recognizes that critical incidents may lead to significant stress which may manifest itself in deteriorating job performance, family breakdowns, chemical dependency, and suicides. ERAP underwrites training, education, and psychological assistance in a structured, intensive, three-day seminar environment (Emergency Responders Critical Incident Seminar, ERCIS).
