Regular Services Program/Crisis Counseling Program (RSP/CCP)
Background
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) extended $2,291,051 to provide COVID-19 crisis counseling services through the Crisis Counseling Program Regular Services Program. This money allows services to move from the Immediate Services Program to the Regular Services Program through June 2021.
Crisis Response Network will continue to provide crisis counseling services through the ResilientArizona.org Crisis Counseling Program. The program, free to any Arizona resident affected by COVID-19, offers confidential support services from the existing 2-1-1 statewide information and referral phone number, in English and Spanish. Crisis counselors help enhance social and emotional connections to others in the community, and promote effective coping strategies and resilience. The counselors also work closely with community organizations to familiarize themselves with available resources to then refer and connect individuals and families to other necessary services.
