As concern over COVID-19 continues to grow, Families Living Violence Free has implemented an emergency plan to continue to provide services to clients.
Effective immediately, the Crisis Hotline will be fully operational 24/7 for advocacy, connection to resources, supportive counseling and safety planning. Services will be provided by advocates.
For victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, Families Living Violence Free will remain open during normal business hours to respond to client needs. After hours, the crisis line will remain open. Clients are strongly encouraged to conduct business via phone or email when appropriate.
If you are in immediate physical danger, please call 911.
If further services are needed, you can contact advocates on the hotline at (919) 693-5700 (English) or (919) 690-0888 (Spanish).
