For professionals and supporters
Make a thoughtful referral.
A referral should create a clearer path, not another handoff without context.
Before referring, explain what ECVS is and confirm the person is comfortable being contacted or contacting us directly.
Do not use this pathway for emergencies or time-sensitive crisis response.
Provide context
With permission, share only the information needed to support the inquiry.
Set expectations
ECVS is not a 24/7 hotline and availability may vary.
