The Dialogue Volume 8: Issue 4
In this issue of The Dialogue, we have asked current Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) staff to share their experiences from recent disasters. Each brought a different perspective and highlighted how his or her team had adapted their CCP to meet the needs of a particular community. We appreciate their efforts to do so in the midst of disaster response and hope that you find their articles informative as well as inspiring.
