Show-Me Hope is Missouri’s crisis counseling program (CCP) in response to a disaster or critical event. Counselors are based in the local community to teach coping and stress management skills to anyone dealing with the anxiety and uncertainty caused by the event. The CCP helps individuals and communities recover from natural and human-caused disasters through community outreach and access to resources including mental health services.
The CCP offers services to disaster survivors in their homes, shelters, temporary living sites, or houses of worship. Funded services include:
Individual and group crisis counseling.
Basic supportive or educational contact.
Community networking and support.
Assessments, referrals, and resources.
Development and distribution of educational materials.
Media and public service announcements.
As the community builds resilience, CCP services phase down and transition to the existing community resources.
