RFI for Crisis Counseling Program Services

The Alaska-based government authority is seeking information to identify vendors capable of providing crisis counseling program services to meet the behavioral health needs of disaster survivors. The agency needs to address the emotional and psychological aftermath of disasters through non-clinical interventions, public outreach, and specialized support. The requested services aim to help survivors understand their reactions, review their recovery options, and connect with supportive local resources. The scope of work covers four primary service areas, including individual crisis counseling, group crisis counseling, brief educational or supportive contacts, and public education and outreach. To execute these services, the agency requires a dedicated staffing structure consisting of one full-time Program Manager, three full-time Outreach Workers, one full-time Behavioral Health Specialist, and one full-time Child Specialist. The Program Manager will oversee day-to-day operations and supervise staff, while the other specialists and outreach workers will deliver direct support, age-appropriate interventions for children, and referrals for survivors experiencing severe emotional distress. Eligible respondents must be onshore organizations based entirely within the United States. The selected vendor must perform all work offsite from their own office location rather than at a government facility. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and financial structure for these services, and no specific key dates or evaluation criteria are provided in the initial request.
