Crisis Counseling Assistance Training Program
The mission of this program is to help individuals and communities recover from the behavioral health effects of natural and human-caused disasters by providing community-based outreach and psycho-educational services. Supplemental funding for crisis counseling is available to State Mental Health Authorities through two grant mechanisms: the Immediate Services Program (ISP; funds for up to 60 days of services immediately following a disaster declaration); and the Regular Services Program (RSP; funds for up to nine months following a disaster declaration). FEMA monitors ISP, and SAMHSA provides technical assistance. SAMHSA monitors all RSP programs.

The statement regarding the monitoring of the RSP and ISP is incorrect. See FEMA's website for the correct distinction https://www.fema.gov/recovery-directorate/crisis-counseling-assistance-training-program.
