If you are in an unsafe situation where you need help but cannot talk, there is a new 24/7 private chat room available from the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence. It is safe, private, secure, and staffed by professionals who can help.

Visit opdv.ny.gov.

If you prefer to text, there is a new text line that can be reached at 800-942-6906.

These resources are completely confidential, and available seven days a week, 24 hours per day. Everyone deserves to be safe. You are not alone.
