Help someone find their next step
For pastors, teachers, counselors, neighbors, and anyone sitting beside someone who needs help.
Start with their question
Ask what they want help with today. Let them choose what to share. Open the matching guide together and check where it applies and when it was checked.
Make the next step easy to keep
Use a printable checklist or contact log. Help the reader find the provider's official contact and ask about costs, service area, languages and current openings.
Explain without guessing
Read the guide's first-step box together. Explain which office or provider handles the next step. Bring individual legal or clinical questions to a qualified professional.
Host a know-your-rights gathering
Invite an immigration attorney or DOJ accredited representative. Agree on the topic, source dates, language access and who will answer individual questions. Use reviewed handouts and a provider directory. Do not collect immigration histories or case numbers at registration.
Keep crisis support direct
DNLH is not a crisis line. Use the direct options on Get help now.
