We offer culturally sensitive support to domestic violence survivors, their friends and family. Here are our programs:
24 hour Multilingual Support Line
Survivors in crisis can connect with trained advocates who provide multilingual confidential crisis intervention, peer counseling, safety planning, and referrals 24/7. Upon completion of trianing, all volunteers begin with one shift on our line. This is our biggest program and biggest need.
