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. 

A trained Advocate will collaborate with you to customize a safety plan. Call (208) 577-4400 to discuss your options and schedule a time to make a plan. 
 
You can create a safety plan specific to your physical, psychological, and emotional needs. This can help you feel safe and secure in a number of different scenarios. This plan is designed to assist you with preparing to leave, while you are leaving, after you leave or if you are wanting to stay in the relationship safely. Once finished, you will be given a certificate of completion. Call today for help or to schedule a time to make a safety plan
 

There are many health implications of Interpersonal violence. Faces of Hope Foundation partners with specialized nurses from St. Luke’s and Saint Alphonsus to provide you with a complete forensic exam, free of charge. In our safe, warm, fully-equipped medical rooms, the specialized nurse will talk with you about your needs and provide you with information. They will also document and photograph your injuries. Additional medical care from our onsite doctor and offsite medical partners are also available for you.

Dr. Ashley King and Chrissy Duncan, FNP, can help you by:

  •  Addressing acute medical needs of self-identified victims ages 14 and older
  • Connecting patients with mental health services and referrals related to interpersonal violence
  • Providing follow-up care including laboratory testing, imaging, and emergency prescription management

To best meet the needs of our clients, these St Luke’s services, like all services at Faces of Hope, are provided at no cost to the patient. 

We understand that involving law enforcement and prosecutors can be difficult and scary. We are here to let you know that it doesn’t have to be that way. We will let you know about all your rights and options so that you can make the decisions that best meet your individual needs. If that involves law enforcement and prosecutors to begin the criminal legal process, they are ready and willing to support you.

If you have experienced interpersonal violence in Ada County (which encompasses Boise, Garden City, Meridian, Kuna, Eagle, and Star), you can report your situation to law enforcement officials on site at Faces of Hope Victim Center.

Ada County Prosecutor’s Office holds its Case Orientation and Resource Program at Faces of Hope Victim Center. This provides you with information on community resources immediately following the arrest of your offender, in order to address any needs you may have, as quickly as possible. You will also learn about the court process. This will better help you to navigate through your legal needs.

Participation in this program is voluntary. If you are unable to attend the Case Orientation and Resource program the day after the offender is arrested, you can choose to attend on a different day by contacting the Special Victim’s Unit at the Ada County Prosecutor’s Office (208-287-7700).

Faces of Hope has partnered with our very own Foundation attorney and the University of Idaho College Of Law to establish a law clinic to help assist victims of abuse with civil protection orders and other various civil court matters, including divorce, custody, evictions, and name changes. Third-year law students, who have been granted a limited license to practice from the Idaho Supreme Court, may represent clients in court under the supervision of a clinical faculty member.  

Both a Faces intake and Legal intake must be completed prior to any meeting with the Foundation Attorney or law clinician.

Case Managers provide services to Faces of Hope clients that indicate needing assistance with their basic needs. Individuals are assisted in setting asset-based, trauma-informed goals related to housing, employment, medical, completing victims’ compensation applications, and more. These services are free-of-charge. For more information, please call 208-577-4400.
