Helpline
The DVRC helpline provides confidential, survivor-centered support and intervention to individuals experiencing domestic violence and sexual assault. The primary purpose of the helpline is to offer immediate crisis response, emotional support, and information related to safety planning, court processes, and available community resources.
Advocates utilize a trauma informed approach to connect survivors with trained professionals who can assist in navigating complex and often high-risk situations, including accessing emergency shelter, counseling services and court advocacy. The helpline serves as a critical access point, empowering survivors and their loved ones to make informed decisions and take steps towards safety, autonomy, and healing.
