Mission Statement

The Violence Prevention Hotline proposes to provide free, confidential, expert support for people in distress and feeling compelled toward committing acts of violence in the future.

Description

Thinking while angry is not a crime. A person who is isolated and has troubling thoughts may contemplate violence. Is there someone to calm them or who can help dispel the feelings of anger and isolation? Is there someone to help this person before they might act out those troubling thoughts? Yes. The National Violence Prevention Hotline can act as a lifeline for anyone who has violent thoughts. By having an outlet to talk about their thoughts, get proper referrals, and develop a safety plan, a person who is contemplating violence can get back to living their life without harming others. Violence may be prevented. The Hotline may also provide a lifeline for victims of violence who have not yet called the police and are seeking counsel regarding their situation.
