If you want to talk to us.
We are a community outreach, not an emergency service, so please use the numbers above first if this is urgent. When it is safe for you, we would like to help with what comes after: resources, connection, practical support and people who will stay.
You do not need to write down what happened. Tell us only how to reach you safely, and whether calling or emailing is safe at all. We will follow your lead.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.Psalm 147:3
