24-Hour Crisis Phone Line

Bradley-Angle House operates a 24-hour crisis line for peer counseling, resource referral and domestic violence information. When someone calls the crisis line number, they are able speak to an Advocate. Advocates provide basic assistance such as helping the caller determine if their relationship is abusive, helping the caller develop a safety plan or explaining the process of obtaining a civil restraining order.

People who call the crisis line have many different types of needs, questions, or concerns related to domestic violence. Individuals being battered call seeking shelter services, referrals to legal or housing resources in the community, or for immediate emotional support. Some callers are not in danger themselves, but are calling about a family member, a friend, or an employee. These callers are helped with suggestions about how to support the battered individual without compromising your own basic safety.
