Narrative

Anyone seeking information, support, shelter, or legal services can call HAWC. However, if you are in immediate danger, call 911. To understand if what you’re experiencing is abuse, share your story, schedule an in-person appointment, or start making a safety plan, call 1-800-547-1649 and connect with a trained volunteer or staff member today.

We know that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming.

When you call our hotline, remind yourself that this is the first small step towards achieving the violence-free, happy life and healthy relationships you deserve! HAWC’s hotline is completely confidential and anonymous. No one will force you to take any steps that you are uncomfortable with. We are committed to providing supportive, non-judgmental service to anyone experiencing domestic abuse.

HAWC provides services and support to victims of domestic violence living in 23 cities and towns on Massachusetts' North Shore. We help people make informed, independent decisions about their futures.
