Your situation. Your next step.

An advocate can help you think through what feels possible and safe for you.

  1. Consider the device you use

    If someone may monitor your device or accounts, consider using a safer device to seek help. A quick-exit button does not erase browser history.

  2. Ask about privacy first

    Ask how an organization handles information, what reporting rules apply, and how it can contact you safely.

  3. Share the support you want

    You might want to talk, consider safety options, ask about shelter, or find legal advocacy. You do not need to choose everything at once.
