Recovery Resource Council

✈️ RRC is proud to be one of just 10 organizations nationwide selected for the National Council for Mental Wellbeing's 2026 Tools for Preventing Overdose Engagement Workgroup supported by the CDC.

Our team recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to collaborate with organizations from across the country and strengthen overdose prevention and recovery support efforts. We’re proud to represent North Texas in this important national initiative.

This 1972 boot camp photo marked the beginning of Eric Niedermayer's nearly 32 years of service in the U.S. Air Force and Texas Air National Guard—service that still shapes his work today as CEO of Recovery Resource Council.

For many veterans, coming home isn’t the end of the story but can be the beginning of new challenges related to trauma, mental health, substance use, and family relationships.

Through our Enduring Families program, veterans and their loved ones receive free counseling to help them recover, reconnect, and move forward together.

⚠️ Support from our community keeps these services available at no cost.

Did you know? 💡 Many of RRC's services are available in Spanish. This spring, we’re proud to share a new Spanish-language video highlighting the Council’s mission, programs, and impact.

From mental health counseling and recovery support to prevention and housing services, we're committed to reducing language barriers and making stability and wellness more accessible for Spanish-speakers across our community.

Recovery Resource Council turns 80! 🥳 Watch our special video below honoring the people, stories, and moments that have shaped our work over the past eight decades.

Since 1946, the Council has grown to meet the changing needs of our communities—expanding from education around alcoholism into a comprehensive approach to recovery, mental health, prevention, and housing support across 61 Texas counties.

For 80 years, this work has been made possible by the dedication of our staff, the courage of the individuals and families we serve, and the support of a community that believes in recovery.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead to the future with new and improved campuses and the same commitment to wellness and recovery that continues to guide our mission today.

Thank you for being part of this community and helping make the next chapter possible. 💙

For this spring’s , meet Mayra Berrios! She serves as the Assistant Director and Intake Coordinator for the Council’s Enduring Families program, where she supports veterans and their families through trauma-informed counseling and care.

Mayra’s path to this work is deeply rooted in service. She served as a Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsman and Medical Laboratory Technician during her enlistment with tours both overseas and stateside. After her military service, she continued supporting others by working with survivors of domestic violence and volunteering as a Sexual Assault Victim Advocate in Tarrant County.

Her connection to the veteran community—and her own experience transitioning out of the military—inspired her to continue serving in a new way. “After discharging from the Navy, I felt like I wasn’t done serving,” Mayra shared. “Working with the veteran community feels like I am still serving the community that I am a part of.”

Since joining the Council in 2023, Mayra has played a key role in helping veterans and their families access care. Through Enduring Families, she helps coordinate intakes, connect clients to counseling services, and ensure individuals receive the support and resources they need. The program provides individual, couples, and child play therapy—supporting both veterans and their loved ones as they navigate the impacts of trauma, stress, and life transitions.

For Mayra, one of the most rewarding parts of her work is helping veterans reconnect with stability and support. “After my enlistment ended, I struggled alone to find my place outside the military,” she shared. “Through Enduring Families, veterans don’t have to struggle alone.”

By strengthening veterans and their families, Mayra’s work helps create more stable homes, reduce isolation, and promote long-term mental health and well-being. Through compassion, connection, and a continued commitment to service, she plays an important role in helping individuals and families move forward with hope.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a good time to pause, check in, and remember that your mental health matters every day. 🧠

Mental health doesn’t look the same for everyone, and the right support can make all the difference. If you or someone you love is struggling, we’re here to help.
