PROJECT RECLAIM - READINESS AND ENGAGEMENT FOR CRIME-VICTIMS THROUGH LEVERAGING ASSISTANCE, INFORMATION AND MONITORING

IDENTITY THEFT RESOURCE CENTER (ITRC) WILL IMPLEMENT PROJECT ASSIST (ADVISOR SUPPORT, STRATEGIC INTERVENTION, AND SERVICE TEAMWORK). THE PROJECT WILL MAINTAIN AND EXPAND THE ITRCS NATIONAL HOTLINE CAPACITY, EMPOWERING VICTIMS OF IDENTITY THEFT, SCAMS, AND FRAUD TO MOVE FROM CRISIS TO RESOLUTION THROUGH EXPERT, COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT. KEY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE TRANSITIONING FROM REACTIVE ADVICE TO PROACTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, PROVIDING EVERY VICTIM WITH A CUSTOMIZED, ACTIONABLE RECOVERY PLAN AND STRUCTURED FOLLOW-UP TO ENSURE THEY FEEL SUPPORTED. THE PROJECT WILL SERVE OVER 8,000 NEW VICTIMS ANNUALLY NATIONWIDE, PROVIDE18 IN-PERSON LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAININGS, AND PRODUCE A DIGITAL STAFF WELLNESS HUB.

THE IDENTITY THEFT RESOURCE CENTER (ITRC) IS PROPOSING TO ENHANCE AND EXPAND ITS NATIONAL HOTLINE TO RESPOND TO NEW THREATS AND CHALLENGES FOR VICTIMS OF IDENTITY FRAUD AND CYBERCRIMES. LAST YEAR, AN ESTIMATED 42 MILLION AMERICANS WERE IMPACTED BY IDENTITY CRIMES, WITH $56 BILLION IN LOSSES – AN INCREASE FROM $16.9 BILLION IN LOSSES FROM 2020 (2022 IDENTITY FRAUD STUDY, JAVELIN RESEARCH).   VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING, AND FOSTER YOUTH ARE OFTEN VICTIMS OF IDENTITY CRIMES, PRESENTING ENORMOUS CHALLENGES TO REMEDIATE. TO RESPOND, THE HOTLINE WILL PROVIDE INCREASED TRAUMA-INFORMED SERVICES TO AT LEAST 12,400 VICTIMS ANNUALLY, INCLUDING ENHANCED CASE MANAGEMENT HOTLINE SERVICES FOR 1,860 DIFFERENT VICTIMS. THE HOTLINE WILL ALSO EXPAND ITS CAPACITY TO REACH 750 ADDITIONAL VICTIMS PER YEAR. IN ADDITION TO EXPANDING THE HOTLINE, THE ITRC WILL CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING:   CONDUCT A SURVEY/SCAN OF THE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING, AND TRANSITION-AGE FOSTER YOUTH AND STAKEHOLDER ORGANIZATIONS TO IDENTIFY THE TYPE/RANGE OF IDENTITY CRIMES, CHALLENGES SPECIFIC TO EACH POPULATION’S SITUATION, HOW TRAUMA IMPACTS IDENTITY THEFT VICTIMS AND HOW TO BEST SUPPORT THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS.  DEVELOP TRAINING CONTENT, TIP SHEETS, BLOGS, INFOGRAPHICS, AND MEDIA THAT DRAWS UPON THE SURVEY/SCAN FINDINGS. THIS INCLUDES HOW IDENTITY COMPROMISE, IDENTITY CRIMES, MISUSE OF CREDENTIALS, AND FRAUD IMPACT THE TARGET POPULATION AND OTHER VICTIMS. TRAIN HOTLINE STAFF TO IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THAT MORE EFFECTIVELY SERVE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS, AND FOSTER YOUTH (INCLUDING LGBTQ). USE THE ITRC CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) DATABASE TO HELP FACILITATE THE RESOLUTION OF IDENTITY THEFT AND TRACK THE STATUS AND LENGTH OF TIME OF CASES FROM START TO FINISH.  REFINE AND IMPROVE HOTLINE SERVICES USING VICTIM SENTIMENT GATHERED THROUGH THE PHONE SYSTEM AND SATISFACTION RATE GATHERED THROUGH AUTOMATED SURVEYS DELIVER TRAINING TO PARTNERS/ STAKEHOLDERS WORKING WITH IDENTITY THEFT VICTIMS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE ALSO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS, HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS, AND FOSTER YOUTH (INCLUDING LGBTQ). DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE REPORTS FOR STAKEHOLDERS/VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS AND VICTIMS OF IDENTITY CRIME TO IDENTIFY TRENDS, CHALLENGES, AND SUCCESSES.  LAUNCH A NATIONAL MARKETING OUTREACH CAMPAIGN TO REACH VICTIMS THROUGH TRADITIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET ADVERTISING.   FUNDS WILL DIRECTLY COVER COSTS FOR SUPPORTING, HIRING AND TRAINING NATIONAL HOTLINE VICTIM ADVISORS, DELIVERING OUTREACH, BUILDING ADDITIONAL REFERRAL PARTNERS, IMPLEMENTING SENTIMENT MONITORING SOFTWARE, AND EXPANDING THE NATIONAL HOTLINE RESOURCES.

IDENTITY CRIME ASSISTANCE NETWORK (PROJECT ICAN): ENHANCING SERVICES TO BLIND LOW VISION HARD OF HEARING AND DEAF COMMUNITIES

ENCUENTROS: SCALING A COMMUNITY-BASED MODEL OF EMOTIONAL SUPPORT - FOR THIS PROJECT, WE PROPOSE TO SCALE AND EXPAND IDENTITY’S SUCCESSFUL EVIDENCE-BASED ENCUENTROS PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES LOW-INCOME LATINO AND OTHER HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED YOUTH AND FAMILIES ACCESS TO DESPERATELY NEEDED NON-CLINICAL COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. THE MAIN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT ARE AS FOLLOWS: - FORMALIZE, DESIGN AND PRODUCE SHAREABLE VERSIONS OF 1) THE ENCUENTROS CURRICULUM AND GROUP FACILITATION GUIDE, AND 2) TRAINING GUIDE FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS (CMHWS). THESE MATERIALS HAVE BEEN PILOTED AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVED AND ARE NOW READY TO BE DESIGNED FOR USE ELECTRONICALLY AND IN HARD COPY. THIS STEP WILL FACILITATE THE TRAINING AND CONSISTENT USE OF THE CURRICULUM AND TRAINING MATERIALS BY CMHWS AND STAFF. - TRAIN 12 NEW CMHWS TO CO-FACILITATE ENCUENTROS GROUPS IN ORDER TO REACH MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE SUFFERING. THE CMHWS ARE NATURAL CONNECTORS AND TRUSTED LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITY, INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE SCHOOL, FAITH, NEIGHBORHOOD, WORK AND OTHER LOCAL NETWORKS. - TRANSLATE OUR CURRICULUM, TRAINING GUIDE AND EVALUATION SURVEY INSTRUMENTS FROM SPANISH INTO ENGLISH. THIS STEP WILL ALLOW US TO OFFER ENCUENTROS GROUPS TO MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO PREFER ENGLISH. - INTEGRATE EXISTING ENCUENTROS PROGRAM EVALUATION DATA INTO IDENTITY’S OVERALL CLIENT DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, CUSTOMIZE FIELDS AND REPORTS AND TRAIN IDENTITY STAFF ON THESE IMPROVEMENTS. THIS STEP ACKNOWLEDGES AND SUPPORTS THE STANDARDIZATION OF ENCUENTROS AS IT MOVES PAST THE PILOTING PHASE TO LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY AND SCALABILITY. IDENTITY’S NON-CLINICAL COMMUNITY-BASED ENCUENTROS PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2020 TO ADDRESS THE URGENT AND GROWING NEED FOR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AMONG MONTGOMERY COUNTY MD’S LATINO POPULATION, THE COUNTY’S FASTEST GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC. MANY LATINO YOUTH AND THEIR FAMILIES FACE SIGNIFICANT MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES RELATED TO UNADDRESSED TOXIC STRESS AND ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACES), ACCULTURATION, FAMILY SEPARATION AND REUNIFICATION, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, HOUSING INSECURITY, AND ECONOMIC INSTABILITY, ALL OF WHICH WERE SIGNIFICANTLY COMPOUNDED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WHILE CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR LATINOS WAS ALREADY HARD TO FIND BEFORE THE PANDEMIC DUE TO A LACK OF SPANISH-SPEAKING CLINICIANS AND THE COST OF THERAPY, COVID-RELATED JOB, FOOD, HOUSING AND HEALTH INSECURITIES FURTHER TRAUMATIZED THOSE THAT WERE ALREADY SUFFERING AND OVERWHELMED CLINICAL CAPACITY. TO MEET THIS NEED, ENCUENTROS PROVIDES YOUTH AND FAMILIES FROM HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED LATINO COMMUNITIES WITH NO-COST, CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT GROUPS. THESE GROUPS OFFER A SAFE SPACE FOR PARTICIPANTS TO ENGAGE IN OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND DEVELOP STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING THEM. THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED WITH AND FOR THE LATINO COMMUNITY, AND GROUP SESSIONS ARE DELIVERED BY TRAINED AND TRUSTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS (COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS) WITH SUPPORT FROM IDENTITY’S BILINGUAL STAFF. IN SPANISH, “ENCUENTROS” IS THE ACT OF COMING TOGETHER.
