For nearly twenty eight years, the National Domestic Violence Hotline has answered the call – over seven million calls, chats, and texts to date – for those affected by relationship abuse. As the only 24/7/365 national service provider offering services via call, chat, and text, we work to shine a light on domestic violence by supporting and advocating for survivors, providing hope in times of crisis, and promoting healthy relationships for all. The Hotline provides confidential, one-on-one support to each caller/chatter/texter, offering crisis intervention, options for next steps, and direct connection to sources for immediate safety. Our comprehensive database holds more than 5,000 agencies and resources in communities all across the country. Bilingual advocates are on hand to speak with callers, and our Language Line offers translations in over 200 languages. The Hotline is also an excellent source of help for concerned friends, family, co-workers and others seeking information and guidance on how to help someone they know. We work to educate communities all over through events, campaigns, and dynamic partnerships. Today, The Hotline is continuing to grow and explore new avenues of service. love is respect, a project of the National Domestic Violence Hotline and Break the Cycle, is a peer-to-peer resource for questions about dating and healthy relationships.
