CFDA 97.032: Crisis Counseling

Objectives

The Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) supports the Recovery core capability and mission area as defined in the National Preparedness Goal. Its objective is to assist individuals and communities in recovering from the challenging effects of natural and human-caused disasters through the provision of community-based outreach and psycho-educational services. The CCP goals are to: reach large numbers of people affected by disasters through face-to-face outreach to shelters, homes, and other locations; • provide emotional support, education, basic crisis counseling, and connection to familial and community support systems; train and educate CCP staff and other community partners about disaster reactions, appropriate interventions, and CCP services; develop partnerships with local disaster and other organizations; work with local stakeholders to promote community resilience and recovery; assess the emotional needs of survivors and make referrals to traditional behavioral health services when necessary; identify tangible needs and link survivors to community resources and disaster relief services; collect and evaluate aggregate, anonymized data to ensure quality services and justify program efforts; and leave behind a permanent legacy of improved coping skills, educational and resource materials, and enhanced community linkages.
