Crisis counseling has defined goals that work towards helping you achieve safety and stability. The objective is to provide you with emotional support, along with feedback and assistance. Crisis counseling facilitates problem-solving, while also coordinating access to available resources in the community. If needed, the counselor will also help you to find long-term counseling services that best meets your individual needs after our multi-week assistance has ended.  Crisis Counseling is by appointment although we do keep emergency appointments open for same-day visits.

Faces of Hope’s Attorney, in collaboration with the University of Idaho College of Law Family Justice Clinic, offers legal assistance to survivors of interpersonal violence seeking civil protection orders and navigating various civil court matters such as divorce, custody disputes, evictions, and name changes. Third-year law students, licensed by the Idaho Supreme Court, may represent clients in court for Civil Protection Orders under the supervision of clinical faculty members from the University of Idaho. The availability for representation depends on the availability of our Foundation Attorney, Law Clinic students, and their Supervising Attorney.

Both a Faces of Hope intake and a legal intake must be completed prior to any meeting with the FOH Attorney or a law school clinician.
