Resources for Help and Support

Finding Help

If you are experiencing abuse, seek help as soon and as safely as possible. For immediate danger, call 911. If you are experiencing a crisis or seek guidance, consider a 24/7 hotline.

Important: Every community has a local domestic/sexual violence agency. These locations offer free counseling and support services. There are local hotlines as well. Simply search “your town/city” and “domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, etc.” to find your nearest options.
