Domestic violence and abuse

If you are afraid of someone in your home, or someone is controlling, hurting, or threatening you, these services can help you make a plan in private.

If you are supporting someone else

  • Take what they are saying seriously. Believe them.
  • Ask directly: "Are you safe right now?" Direct questions do not plant ideas; they open doors.
  • Stay with them — in person or on the phone — while they call.
  • If they are in immediate danger and cannot or will not call, you may call emergency services on their behalf.
