ORLANDO, Fla. — UCF released information on unveiling their new Resiliency Command Center for Florida first responders during crucial situations.
This mobile behavioral health facility was created to offer a secure setting for behavioral health care to first responders during crises, including natural disasters, mass casualties, and incidents during the line of duty.
The project is backed by the Florida Legislature, the Florida Division of State Fire Marshal, Lockheed Martin, and the University of Central Florida; this mobile command center is designed to provide trauma care and mental health resources to emergency responders nationwide.

Through groundbreaking research and cutting-edge innovation, UCF RESTORES has helped thousands of individuals across our state, providing critical support to those in need, proving again that UCF rises to every occasion, faces challenges head on and develops solutions that drive real-world impact.”
