The Connect Domestic Violence and Abuse Helpline is often the first contact for people reaching out for support. Our Helpline counsellors answer the phone 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. They provide counselling, safety planning, referrals and information in multiple languages.
Our Online Live Chat offers confidential, real-time assistance so you can get the support you need in a safe, private space. It is available from Monday to Friday @ 8:00AM to 10:00PM (MST)
A Helpline counsellor provides FREE of charge:
- Crisis counselling and support
- General safety planning, emotional support and emergency escape planning
- Information and referrals
- Screening for Emergency Shelter placement
- Referrals to FearIsNotLove programs and services
- Help for men who would like to talk about their relationships, explore concerns and identify strategies to work towards safety in their relationships and changing behavior
- Collaborate with other community professionals seeking support and services for individuals experiencing domestic violence
Please note that we will respect the confidentiality of any individual who chooses to contact our Helpline. However, when individuals choose not to disclose their personal information with a Helpline counsellor during a Helpline phone call, we may be prevented from assisting with access requests for Helpline call logs at a later date.
