The Washington State Domestic Violence (DV) Hotline is available if you have concerns about your safety or the safety of someone else, such as a good friend or family member. Advocates at the DV Hotline can talk with you about the abuse that is happening and ways you can increase your safety for you and your friend/family member. We provide crisis intervention and safety planning, as well as referrals to community programs across the state of Washington that provide services to those experiencing domestic violence. If you need help finding a safe place to stay, we can provide you with information about local domestic violence programs that provide emergency shelter services. These programs may also provide other services such as support groups and legal advocacy.
