Crime Protection: Direct victims to law enforcement agencies for the purpose of obtaining crime protection services (includes emergency cell phone coordination and safety planning). Provide referrals to increase victim safety and stabilization.
Crisis Referrals: Provide immediate support to a victim in distress with contact information and referral to obtain services on their own. Provide names, addresses, and telephone numbers of appropriate agencies that offer crisis intervention (including hotlines), follow-up counseling (private and public mental health providers), and support groups.
Emergency Assistance: Refer victims to emergency assistance agencies, such as those that provide shelter, food, clothing, etc. You can count this service for a victim even if the victim does not follow through with the referral. For example, if you refer a victim of domestic violence to a shelter and the victim does not go to the shelter, you can still count this service as Emergency Assistance-Referral.
