If you're not safe
If you are in danger right now, call 911. For everything that comes before and after that moment, Atlanta has people whose whole job is your safety.
For violence or abuse at home, the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, 24/7, English/Spanish) and Atlanta's Partnership Against Domestic Violence can talk through options confidentially — calling does not commit you to leaving or to police involvement. Shelter locations are confidential and intake happens by phone. Protective orders are free to file at the county superior court, and advocates can walk you through it.
Community violence-prevention programs work with young people and families to stop cycles before they start — they want calls before things explode.
What to expect when you call a hotline: a calm person, no rush, no judgment. They'll ask if you're safe to talk and let you set the pace. Hang up whenever you need to; call back anytime.
