<br />Victim Intervention Program (VIP) activities (VIP) include:
<br />1. Outreach: Frequent collaboration with CBOs and local faith communities, such as Olive Crest, Catholic Charities,
<br />Salvation Army, OC Legal Aid, St. Olaf Lutheran Church, and First Lutheran Church. VIP proactively participates in
<br />community engagement opportunities and is enlisted in the Orange County 2-1-1 CoC and Coordinated Entry
<br />System to strengthen community referral networks and deliver continuity of care in victim services.
<br />2. Screening and Needs Assessment: Provide walk-in and referral program participants with immediate safety
<br />assessment to identify dangers, medical needs, legal and law enforcement needs. After eliminating immediate
<br />danger, onsite social workers help to identify social service needs. Participants go through eligibility screening to
<br />determine DV/IPV history and income verification to access subsequent support, including financial assistance,
<br />emergency assistance, and more.
<br />3. Emergency Assistance and Housing Stabilization Services: Provide emergency assistance to meet physical
<br />needs, such asfood, hygiene, clothing, and transportation, including short-term rental assistance, crisis/bridge
<br />housing (hotel/motel vouchers), utility payment assistance, and housing navigation/placements services.
<br />4. Behavioral Health Counseling: Provide free -of -cost in -person and telehealth behavioral health counseling
<br />services. The program has a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), MSW Interns (under the supervision of the
<br />LCSW), and a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) to provide support to participants through DV/IPV trauma,
<br />PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Through a trauma -informed approach, each session is aimed at
<br />cultivating a safe environment for survivors to share their unique stories, needs, and progress. Additional referrals
<br />are made to third -party providers for follow-up, diagnosis, substance abuse disorder treatment, or severe mental
<br />health challenges.
<br />5. Intensive Case Management: VIP Case Managerwill follow up on participants' progressthrough one-on-one
<br />case management sessions and provide direct service referrals and resource linkages. Case Managers will
<br />corroborate with local domestic violence shelters and permanent housing providers to successfully transition
<br />participants to stable housing. Additional self-sufficiency planning (ISSP) is conducted to identify goals and
<br />establish recovery milestones.
<br />6. Independent Living Skills: Through case management, counseling, and support groups, participants are
<br />equipped with critical life skills and coping skills that are essential functions to regaining their confidence, safety,
<br />and self-sufficiency. These include dressing, grooming, bill payments/budgeting, house management, meal
<br />prepping, community engagement, job readiness, and more.
