At WC&S, all survivors can find help. We know that anyone, including men, LGBTQIA+ people, and non-binary/gender non-conforming individuals, can be survivors of intimate partner violence. We embrace everyone without regard to gender, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, age, ability, religion, language spoken, or any other factor. We welcome you as you are.

Connecting to our Hotline Services through phone, text, or online chat is more than just a call for help. It’s the first step toward making a change, finding hope, and creating a life free from violence and abuse. Information and referrals provided by our advocates enable you to make confident choices about your next steps.
