Referral to Other Services, Supports, and Resources

A. Crisis Referrals: provide victims the 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. These referrals can be made in person or by telephone.

B. Crime Prevention: direct victims to law enforcement agencies for the purpose of obtaining crime prevention services (includes emergency cell phone coordination, and safety planning).

C. 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.
