Program Guidance

The Crisis Counseling Training and Assistance Program (CCP) is implemented as a supplemental assistance program available to the United States and its Territories, by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 1974 authorizes FEMA to fund mental health assistance and training activities in areas which have been Presidentially declared a disaster. Only a State or Federally-recognized Indian Tribe may apply for a crisis counseling grant.
