Dear Association Executives – Attached and at the link below, please find information on the Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program. This announcement will be sent to all states very soon and it is the state Mental Health Agency that has to apply for this. You may want to urge your state's mental health authority to apply.
The CCP is now available to all states with any kind of an emergency declaration.
