Proposed Project: Data Resource 

Toolkit Protocol for the Crisis 

Counseling Assistance and Training 

Program (OMB No. 0930–0270) 

—Reinstatement 

The 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, territories, and tribes for 

individual and community crisis 

intervention services after a 

presidentially declared disaster. 

The CCP has provided disaster mental 

health services to millions of disaster 

survivors since its inception, and, with 

more than 30 years of accumulated 

expertise, it has become an important 

model for federal response to a variety 

of catastrophic events. Recent CCP 

grants have been issued for nearly all 50 

states, 5 territories, and 1 tribe. These 

grants have helped survivors of disasters 

such asthe coronavirus disease 2019 

(COVID–19) pandemic in 2020 and 

2021; Hurricanes Laura and Iota in 

2020; and wildfires, severe storms, 

flooding, and earthquakes in 2019 

through 2021. CCPs address the shortterm mental health needs of 

communities primarily through (a) 

outreach and public education, (b) 

individual and group counseling, and 

(c) referral. Outreach and public 

education serve primarily to normalize 

disaster reactions and to engage people 

who may need further care. Crisis 

counseling assists survivors in coping 

with current stress and symptoms to 

return to pre-disaster 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 counselors typically work with a 

single client once or a few times. 

Because crisis counseling is timelimited, referral is the third important 

function of CCPs. Counselors are 

expected to refer a survivor to formal 

treatment if he or she has developed a 

mental and/or substance use disorder or 

is having difficulty in coping with his 

or her disaster reactions. 

Data about services delivered and 

users of services are collected 

throughout the program period. The 

data are collected via the use of a toolkit 

that relies on standardized forms. At the 

program level, the data are entered 

quickly and easily into a cumulative 

database mainly through mobile data 

entry or paper forms (depending on 

resource availability) to yield summary 

tables for quarterly and final reports for 

the program. Mobile data entry allows 

for the data to be uploaded and linked 

to a national database that houses data 

collected across CCPs. This database 

provides SAMHSA CMHS and FEMA 

with a way of producing summary 

reports of services provided across all 

programs funded. 

The components of the toolkit are 

listed and described below: 

• Encounter logs. These forms 

document all services provided. The 

CCP requires crisis counselors to 

complete these logs. There are three 

types of encounter logs: (1) Individual/ 

Family Crisis Counseling Services 

Encounter Log, (2) Group Encounter 

Log, and (3) Weekly Tally Sheet. 

Æ Individual/Family 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 people who 

actively participated in the session (that 

is, by participating in conversation), not 

someone who is merely present. One 

form may be completed for all 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 collect data on either a group 

crisis counseling encounter or a group 

public education encounter. The crisis 

counselor indicates in a checkbox the 

class of activities (that is, counseling or 

education). Information collected 

includes service 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, 

material distribution with no or 

minimal interaction, and social media 

activity.

• Assessment and Referral Tools 

(ARTs). These tools—one for adults and 

one for children and youth—provide 

descriptive information about intensive 

users of services, defined as all 

individuals receiving a third or fifth 

individual crisis counseling visit or 

those who are continuing to experience 

severe post-disaster distress that may be 

affecting their ability to perform daily 

activities. This tool will typically be 

used beginning 3 months after the 

disaster and will be completed by the 

crisis counselor. 

• Participant Feedback Survey. These 

surveys are completed by and collected 

from a sample of service recipients, not 

every recipient. Sampling is done on a 

biannual basis at 6 months and 1 year 

after the disaster. Information collected 

includes satisfaction with services, 

perceived improvements in coping and 

functioning, types of exposure, and 

event reactions. 

• Service Provider Feedback Form. 

These surveys are completed by and 

collected from the CCP service 

providers anonymously at 6 months and 

1 year after the disaster. The survey is 

coded on several program-level as well 

as worker-level variables. However, the 

program is only identified and shared 

with program management if more than 

10 individual workers complete the 

survey. 

There are no changes to the 

Participant Feedback Survey and 

Service Provider Feedback Form since 

the last approval. Revisions to the 

Individual Encounter Log include 

rewording the category ‘‘adult (18–39 

years)’’ to ‘‘young adult (18–29 years)’’ 

to clarify age categories; adding a 

question about recent move from 

another county to the United States; 

rewording selections for telephone calls 

to differentiate between incoming and 

outgoing calls; adding a location 

selection for virtual services; rewording 

risk category selections to incorporate 

stressors related to impacts of the 

COVID–19 pandemic (e.g., 

underemployment, illness, virtual 

learning for children/youth, and 

physical distancing/social isolation); 

and adding risk category selections that 

address stressors including food 

insecurity, lack of access to reliable 

information, and lack of access to 

reliable transportation. For the Group 

Encounter Log, changes include adding 

a location selection for virtual services 

and adding a question about recent 

immigration to the United States. For 

the Weekly Tally Sheet, changes include 

rewording the category for brief 

educational contact to include virtual 

contact, rewording the categories for 

phone calls to differentiate between 

incoming and outgoing calls, rewording 

the electronic interaction category to 

encompass more channels than just 

email (e.g., text, chat, direct messages), 

rewording the materials mailed category 

to include emailed materials, rewording 

the social media messages category to 

clarify that it is only for posts to social 

media channels, and adding categories 

to better record reach and engagement of 

social media efforts. Minor changes to 

demographics, location of service, and 

risk categories were submitted for the 

Adult ART and Child/Youth ART to 

align the forms with the Individual/ 

Family Crisis Counseling Services 

Encounter Log. The assessment tool 

sections of the ARTs were not changed.

1This value (1,500) is based on an average of 50 full-time equivalent (FTE) crisis counselors per grant with an approximate average of 30 

grants per year (i.e., 50 × 30 = 1,500). 2On average, each FTE crisis counselor will complete 190 forms over the course of the grant. 

3On average, a pair of FTE crisis counselors completes one form per week (i.e., two counselors completing one form = 750 crisis counselors) 

for 33 weeks. 4The average length of a CCP grant is 52 weeks. 

5On average, each FTE crisis counselor will complete 14 Assessment Referral Tool forms over the course of the grant. 

6On average, 5 percent of the Individual/Family Crisis Counseling Services Encounter Logs completed will result in the use of this tool (i.e., 

285,000 logs × 5% = 14,250). 7On average, 50 percent of service providers/crisis counselors may complete or use this tool.
