Give

● Hotline coverage, crisis intervention, emotional support and safety services, intake and/or assessment of service needs, information and referral services, criminal and civil justice assistance, advocacy and accompaniment assistance, and development or implementation of service plans. 

● Case management meetings are set by appointment after a service/case plan has been completed. If there is a crisis, please call the crisis hotline (208-630-6601 press 9). If it is an emergency, call 911. 

● To prepare for your case management meetings, have a list of questions, updates, and needed information and resources ready to review. 

● When possible, use your own phone or email address, when meeting with your case manager. If you are using someone else’s phone or email, let your case manager know so they do not share private information. 

● Technology does not always work or you might not have access to email, so it is important to let your case manager know how to get a hold of you. Case Managers are a safe place to ask for help. 

● Your case manager may ask you to sign a document electronically. You can do this with email or using a phone with a camera by taking a picture of the signed document and sending it back through a text message. 

● If you are learning to use some of this technology, need assistance with filling out an application, or need help accessing documents, do not hesitate to ask your case manager. 

● The crisis hotline, case manager direct work line (with call or text option), and email are all available forms of communication. 

● If there is a crisis or safety concern, call or text the crisis hotline and a case manager will assist you. 

● If you are concerned for your safety you can text or call and a case manager will assist with the proper steps. 

● A case manager can assist with the implementation of a safety plan that can be used anytime. 

● A case manager will ask you to sign a release of information if a referral is made to outside services and resources are agreed upon. Once the release is signed and sent back (a case manager will assist you with getting it signed), then the referrals to outside services and support will be made. 

● Because some services may not be available or have slowed operations during this time, your case manager will communicate with you what is immediately available and what is not. 

● Communicating regularly can be difficult if you are juggling responsibilities like work, relocation, or crisis, and the case manager might be busy with other appointments and/or crisis calls. It is important to discuss with the case manager times and days that work best for both of you. If there is a crisis, please call the crisis hotline. 

● Let your case manager know of any immediate needs you have, including help with staying safe or help with obtaining emergency items like food or hygiene products.  

● It may be hard to find privacy when talking to your case manager. Try to find space to have private conversations and avoid distractions. 

● Discuss with your case manager if you do not have access to a secure and private phone. 

● If you are worried about others hearing your conversation, you can create a “safe word” with your case manager which can be used to signal when others have entered the room.

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to exploit their victims for labor or commercial sex.

Human trafficking happens around the world and in the U.S. Not only adults but children are trafficked every day, often in child sex trafficking schemes. 

If you suspect someone is being trafficked, report it.

• If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.
• Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888, send a text to BeFree (233733), chat with them at humantraffickinghotline.org/chat, or report tips online.
• If you believe a child is involved in a trafficking situation, submit a tip through the

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline or call 1-800-THE-LOST.

Warning Signs:

Signs of being trafficked include indications that someone

• Is not free to leave or come and go as they wish
• Works excessively long and/or unusual hours
• Avoids eye contact
• Appears fearful, anxious, depressed, submissive, tense, or nervous/paranoid
• Appears malnourished
• Shows signs of physical and/or sexual abuse, physical restraint, confinement, or torture
• Has few or no personal possessions

Agencies Combating Human Trafficking:

Several federal agencies can respond to reports of potential human trafficking and help survivors:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Blue Campaign, which:

•  Detects and combats human trafficking
• Provides resources to grow public awareness

You can report human trafficking to DHS enforcement specialists 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-866-347-2423.

The FBI human trafficking page explains the culture of modern-day human trafficking.

• Shares stories of successful prosecutions of traffickers
• Explains victim rights
• Offers suggestions for coping with the trauma of victimization

FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking task forces work from almost every FBI field office. The FBI page explains that sex trafficking of a minor happens when the victim is under 18. Cases involving minors do not need proof of force, fraud, or coercion.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) website is filled with powerful real-life stories about their work fighting human trafficking. Let them know about suspicious activity in your community by calling 1-866-DHS-2-ICE.

The Department of Labor annual list of goods produced by child labor or forced labor  alerts you to products from countries to avoid.

The Department of Health & Human Services Office on Trafficking in Persons offers:

• Victim resources
• Downloadable training materials
• Grants to help combat human trafficking.

Sexual assault is any kind of unwanted sexual activity, from touching to rape. And sexual assault is a crime. If you have been sexually assaulted, use these resources to get help.

Get Help After a Sexual Assault

• Call 911 if you or someone else is in immediate danger or has just been sexually assaulted.
• Contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline anytime at 1-800-656-HOPE (1-800-656-4673). They will connect you anonymously with a counselor at your nearest rape treatment center.
• Find state domestic violence resources online.
• Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline anytime at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233). You can talk confidentially with an advocate or find local resources.
• Contact the Loveisrespect hotline if you or someone you know is a victim of teen dating violence. Reach a love is respect advocate anytime by phone at 1-866-331-9474, by texting ‘loveis’ to 22522, or by chat online.

Get Information About Sexual Assault

• Call womenshealth.gov at 1-800-994-9662 to get more information on sexual assault.

If you're in an emergency, call 911.

If you've been a victim of domestic abuse and want to take legal action, you may be able to file for a protective order. Protective orders are also known as restraining orders or injunctions.

State courts issue protective orders.

These legal orders demand that your abuser:

• Stops hurting or threatening you
• Stays a certain distance away from you

The process for obtaining a protective order differs from state to state. Your local police and court can help you get the process started. Contact your state, county, or municipal court for more information. Generally, you have to fill out paperwork and submit it to the county courthouse.  A judge may issue a temporary restraining order to protect you immediately. To get a longer-term order, your judge may want either or both a full court hearing and your abuser's presence.

The police can enforce a protective order. If necessary, the order can include special provisions like:

• Custody of children
• Continued financial support
• Forcing the abuser to leave a home

Some states require the abuser to surrender all firearms.

Idaho Hope Card Information

The Hope Card is a laminated card, similar in size to a credit card. It contains essential information about a valid civil protection order in a durable, easy-to-read format, such as:

•  identifying characteristics of the person being ordered to “stay away”,
• a color photograph when available;
•  issue date of the order;
• expiration date of the order;
• and terms of the order.

The Hope Card provides law enforcement with critical information regarding an order of protection. In case of a potential violation, a law enforcement officer can refer to the Hope Card for more information.

A Hope Card is not a substitute for an order of protection. It is simply a more durable means of providing pertinent information from the existing order. Law Enforcement must verify the order

through their local dispatch.
