The Alabaster House works in collaboration with courts, law enforcement, service providers, and community members to support individuals impacted by domestic violence. This page outlines how referrals may be made to Alabaster for access to resources, support services, and refuge.

Referrals help ensure that survivors are connected to appropriate services in a timely, documented, and legally appropriate manner. Alabaster accepts referrals from both institutional partners and individuals acting in good faith on behalf of someone in need.

Who Can Make a Referral

Referrals to The Alabaster House may be submitted by:

• Courts and judicial officers

• Law enforcement agencies

• Probation, parole, or supervision programs

• Social service and nonprofit organizations

• Healthcare or behavioral health providers

• Concerned individuals or family members

• Survivors seeking support for themselves

All referrals are reviewed by Alabaster’s team to determine appropriate next steps and available resources.

How the Referral Process Works

1. Complete the Referral Form
   Referrals are initiated by completing the appropriate county or state referral form used for domestic violence–related services. This form documents the referral and provides Alabaster with the information needed to follow up safely and appropriately.

2. Submit the Referral to The Alabaster House
   Once completed, the referral form is submitted directly to The Alabaster House using the instructions provided on the form or via the submission method indicated below.

3. Review & Follow-Up
   Upon receipt, Alabaster reviews the referral and makes contact, when appropriate, to assess needs, explain available resources, and coordinate next steps.

Submission of a referral does not guarantee placement or services, but it initiates a structured review process focused on safety, consent, and available capacity.

Referral Forms

Referrals typically require a county- or state-issued domestic violence referral form, which may be used by courts, law enforcement, and service providers to document and authorize referrals.

Important note:
Referral form requirements may vary by jurisdiction. In many cases, these forms are issued or recognized by local government or law enforcement agencies (such as county departments, courts, or sheriff-associated systems).

If you are unsure which form to use, or if your organization operates under a specific referral protocol, please contact The Alabaster House directly for guidance.

Confidentiality & Safety

The Alabaster House prioritizes survivor safety, dignity, and confidentiality. All referrals are handled with care and reviewed in alignment with applicable laws, consent requirements, and best practices for trauma-informed support.

If you believe someone is in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services before submitting a referral.
