Our hotline advocates are available 24/7 to provide support and information to survivors. We believe you and we are here to listen. The hotline is also available to those who support survivors, including loved ones and service providers, who might seek emotional support and/or resources for themselves or the survivor they support.
Voices advocates are available to provide support and advocacy for survivors working through medical, housing, legal, and family processes. Some examples of advocacy include: accompanying survivors to SANE exams, talking to survivors’ landlords or employers, supporting and accompanying survivors during legal processes.
We know that people and institutions aren’t always understanding, and we are here to support you through your process.
Call our hotline to talk to an advocate.

Message Us On Social Media

If phone calls are unsafe for you, sending us an email or private message through social media is always an option.
We monitor our email, Facebook, and Instagram messages Monday through Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm.
If you do plan to use social media or email to reach us, consider whether your device is safe (is it being monitored or could there be spyware installed?) and consider making a tech safety plan so that your messages are more secure.
For immediate, 24/7 support, call our hotline.
If, for safety reasons, you cannot contact us safely using social media or email:
- If you are experiencing dating or domestic violence, you can go to TheHotline.org to chat online or text “LOVEIS” to 22522.
- If you are experiencing sexual violence, you can go to Hotline.rainn.org to chat online.
