Bill overview
The Crisis Counseling Act streamlines the process for states, local governments, and tribal governments to receive immediate support after a major disaster is declared by the President. Specifically, it ensures that requests for crisis counseling and training services, as authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, are approved without delay. This aims to provide quicker access to mental health resources for communities impacted by disasters. The bill simplifies a key aspect of disaster relief by expediting the approval of these essential services.
