Intimate Partner Violence
Find a local crisis line for gender-based violence
What if it’s not safe to talk out loud on the phone?
Many helplines and services offer multiple ways to connect, including text message or online chat for more discreet conversations. You can also use technology strategically to get help or connect with people you trust.
Consider what may be a safe option for you. Do you want to be able to call for help quickly? Or do you want a safe way to get a supportive ear when you need someone to talk to? Can someone see my conversations if I use a text line?
