Project: Data Resource Toolkit Protocol
for the Crisis Counseling Assistance
and Training Program (CCP)—Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) as part of an
interagency agreement with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) provides a toolkit to be used for
the purposes of collecting data on the
Crisis Counseling Assistance and
Training Program (CCP). The CCP
provides supplemental funding to states
and territories for individual and
community crisis intervention services
during a federal disaster.
The CCP has provided disaster mental
health services to millions of disaster
survivors since its inception and, as a
result of 30 years of accumulated
expertise, it has become an important
model for federal response to a variety
of catastrophic events. Recent State
CCPs include programs in New Jersey
and New York following 2012 Hurricane
Sandy; two programs in Colorado, one
related to a wildfire and the second to
a flood; a program in Oklahoma in the
aftermath of severe storms and
tornadoes in 2013; and programs in
Washington and Alaska related to
flooding and mudslides in 2014. These
programs have primarily addressed the
short-term mental health needs of
communities through (a) outreach and
public education, (b) individual and
group counseling, and (c) referral.
Outreach and public education serve
primarily to normalize reactions and to
engage people who might need further
care. Crisis counseling assists survivors
to cope with current stress and
symptoms in order to return to
predisaster functioning. Crisis
counseling relies largely on ‘‘active
listening,’’ and crisis counselors also
provide psycho-education (especially
about the nature of responses to trauma)
and help clients build coping skills.
Crisis counseling typically continues no
more than a few times. Because crisis
counseling is time-limited, referral is
the third important functions of CCPs.
Counselors are expected to refer clients
to formal treatment if the person has
developed more serious psychiatric
problems.
Data about services delivered and
users of services will be collected
throughout the program period. The
data will be collected via the use of a
toolkit that relies on standardized forms.
At the program level, the data will be
entered quickly and easily into a
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

cumulative database to yield summary
tables for quarterly and final reports for
the program. Additionally, we are in the
process of developing and testing the
feasibility of using mobile devices for
data entry purposes. Because the data
will be collected in a consistent way
from all programs, they can be uploaded
or linked into an ongoing national
database that likewise provides CMHS
and FEMA with a way of producing
summary reports of services provided
across all programs funded.
The components of the tool kit are
listed and described below:
• Encounter logs. These forms
document all services provided.
Completion of these logs is required by
the crisis counselors. There are three
types of encounter logs: (1) Individual/
Family or Household Crisis Counseling
Services Encounter Log; (2) Group
Encounter Log; and (3) Weekly Tally
Sheet.
Æ Individual/Family or Household
Crisis Counseling Services Encounter
Log. Crisis counseling is defined as an
interaction that lasts at least 15 minutes
and involves participant disclosure.
This form is completed by the Crisis
Counselor for each service recipient,
defined as the person or persons who
actively participated in the session (e.g.,
by verbally participating), not someone
who is merely present. The same form
may be completed with other family or
household members who are actively
engaged in the visit. Information
collected includes demographics,
service characteristics, risk factors,
event reactions, and referral data.
Æ Group Encounter Log. This form is
used to identify either a group crisis
counseling encounter or a group public
education encounter. A check at the top
identifies the class of activities (i.e.,
counseling or education). Information
collected includes services
characteristics, group identity and
characteristics, and group activities.
Æ Weekly Tally Sheet. This form
documents brief educational and
supportive encounters not captured on
any other form. Information collected
includes service characteristics, daily
tallies and weekly totals for brief
educational or supportive contacts, and
material distribution with no or
minimal interaction.
• Assessment and Referral Tools.
This tool provides descriptive
information about intense users of
services either child/youth or adults,
defined as all individuals receiving a
third individual crisis counseling visit.
This tool will be used beginning three
months postdisaster and will be
completed by the crisis counselor.
