Due to ongoing changes in domestic violence services, this list may not reflect all the resources available in your community, and phone numbers very often change without notice. When in doubt, consult your local directory.

Many of these facilities also help with safety planning and court advocacy. They may also offer counseling for survivors of domestic violence or referrals to
professionals who do. Additional counseling services are available in the “Counseling and Other Services” section starting on page 39.

IMPORTANT NOTE: while men can also be victims of domestic violence, some shelters will only take female clients. However, even these facilities can usually find a safe place for a male to stay. No one can completely refuse to help you based on sex or gender.
