authorizes the President to provide financial assistance to State and 
local governments for professional counseling services to victims of 
major disasters in order to relieve mental health problems caused or 
aggravated by a major disaster or its aftermath. The Department of 
Health and Human Services Center for Mental Health Services and FEMA 
monitor State Crisis Counseling and Assistance Training program's 
(CCP's) to ensure that the goals of the program for people affected by 
disasters are met, special problems in areas where technical assistance 
might be necessary are identified, grants are properly managed, and 
technical assistance and guidance are provided on mental health matters 
as they relate to the crisis counseling assistance.

local mental health agencies or private mental health organizations 
designed by the Governor to provide crisis counseling services to the 
Presidentially declared communities. Assistance is provided under two 
separate programs: Immediate Services Program and Regular Program. To 
obtain a grant, a State agency must submit a grant application. If 
approved and funded, the State agency must provide progress and 
financial reports on a quarterly basis.

hours.
