What is the purpose of the Crisis Counseling Program (CCP)?

The purpose of the Crisis Counseling Program (CCP) is primarily to provide educational resources and outreach for recovery from disasters. This program is designed to assist individuals and communities affected by disasters in coping with the mental and emotional impacts that often follow such traumatic events. By offering counseling services and workshops, the CCP aims to help survivors understand their feelings, develop coping strategies, and access further support as they navigate their recovery process.

In contrast to the other options, which suggest different types of assistance, the focus of the CCP is not on legal actions, direct financial aid, or monitoring business impacts. Legal actions are typically handled through other legal aid programs, and direct financial assistance is usually provided through other FEMA individual assistance programs or grants. Monitoring the impacts on local businesses falls under economic recovery efforts rather than direct counseling and support for individuals affected by disasters.
