444 (Department of Human Services)

The Program supports community-based providers which provide awareness and education about domestic violence, training to professionals and volunteers who deliver support to victims and directly provide victims and their vulnerable family members with quality comprehensive domestic violence services including emergency shelter, crisis, information regarding referrals and resources, counseling, advocacy, transportation and outreach. The Domestic Violence Statewide Help Line is part of the Department's response to domestic violence. The Help Line provides statewide, toll-free, 24-hour, 7 day-a-week, multi-lingual, confidential services to victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, and information to people calling on behalf of a victim including friends or family of the domestic violence victim and first responders such as the police. The Help Line provides victims' access and direct referrals to the Department's funded domestic violence providers via a three-way phone linkage. Help Line staff make referrals to domestic violence service agencies, identify non-traditional domestic violence services, provide safety planning or tips, and help victims explore service options. The Help Lines' trained domestic violence advocates help provide a safety network for Illinois residents living in remote areas of the state and for those for whom English is not their primary language. Additionally, the Statewide Help Line also increases access to domestic violence services for the deaf and hard of hearing by providing the most up to date technology.
