• Provide culturally sensitive emotional support
• Provide referral for legal and immigration issues
• Help clients understand American cultural/legal system and customs
• Provide safety planning and risk assessment
• Provide emergency assistance
• Provide referrals for housing, counseling, medical care, food, clothing education, employment
