What resources and support are available to survivors of domestic violence?
If you are in danger, call 911 right away.
Isolation is one of the most significant factors that leads to an increase in domestic violence and safety risks. Don't let social distancing mean social isolation.
If you are - or someone you know is – living in fear of intimate partner violence, call the New Jersey Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-572-SAFE (7233).
The hotline provides confidential access to domestic violence information and services, including crisis intervention, referral, and advocacy. It is bilingual and accessible to the deaf and hearing impaired.
If you are having suicidal thoughts call or text 988, or visit the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline to chat online with a trained crisis counselor.
