The National Domestic Violence Hotline envisions a world where all relationships are positive, healthy, and free from violence.  They answer the call to support and shift power back to people affected by relationship abuse.

Reaching out for help can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never spoken to anyone about the abuse before. Sometimes it’s hard to describe how you’re feeling out loud. If you’re ready to seek help but don’t feel comfortable talking with an advocate on the phone, or if it’s not safe for you to call, now there’s another option. The Hotline’s live chat service (IM-style) is a safe, private way to connect with a Hotline advocate. You get the same one-on-one, real-time, confidential information from a trained advocate as you do if you contact The Hotline by phone.

Their chat service is:

• A confidential, one-on-one chat session with a Hotline advocate
• NOT a public chat room
• An internal messaging system used specifically for chatters to The Hotline — it is NOT a general chat messenger such as MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Live Chat, Gchat or iChat
• Available by clicking on the “Chat” button found on each page of our website — you do NOT have to download anything to use it
• Every day we speak with survivors, friends, family, coworkers, those who identify as abusive and others affected by domestic violence and abuse. Anyone seeking help or questioning something going on in their relationship is welcome to chat.
