It’s Time to feel safe.
Our advocates are here to help 24/7
Call our Crisis Hotline
What to Expect when you call our Crisis Line:
Care
-
We need to get a general idea of the situation. We don’t expect you to know exactly what you need—after all, that’s why you’re calling!
It’s natural to feel anxious when contacting a hotline, especially if it’s your first time reaching out for help. Our advocates undergo extensive training to support survivors, and our services are always confidential.
-
It’s essential for your own safety that you contact us when your partner isn’t around. This can be hard to do if you live in the same residence, but abusive partners are likely to react with anger as you take steps to regain control in your life. If your partner comes home or walks in while you’re speaking with an advocate, immediately disconnect the call. Remember to protect your digital privacy, and take steps to delete our number from your phone and clear your browsing history.
Advocates may ask:
Support
-
Before an advocate can help, they’ll need to know your specific circumstances. This will likely be difficult to talk about but it’ll give you an opportunity to express yourself and to raise concerns you might have about your relationship. Some advocates recommend summarizing your situation through a timeline of your relationship or by explaining a recent altercation to get a better idea of what options are available to you.
-
Whether you’re trying to improve communication with your partner, planning how to leave your relationship, or finding ways to feel safer at home, you will always have options. Our advocates can help you sort through your choices to figure out what’s best for your specific situation.
