Personal Safety

This page is here because the people who need it deserve to find it.

If someone in your life is hurting you, controlling your money, monitoring your phone, or making you afraid in your own home, that is not something you caused and it is not something you have to solve alone. It happens to people in every kind of household, every income level, every community. The organizations below work with people in exactly your situation, every day. They will listen. They will not judge. They are available right now.
