Immediate Help for Domestic Violence Survivors

We want you to know you are not alone. If you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 right away. At Path to a Better Life, we provide domestic violence resources and support to help you take the first critical steps toward safety, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental starting point.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing abuse, taking immediate action can make all the difference. First, ensure your physical safety. If you can leave a dangerous situation, do so quickly and move to a public place. Once you are in a safe location, call Canada’s national domestic violence hotline at 1-800-363-9010, a confidential, multilingual service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Trained responders can help you create a safety plan, find a shelter, and access emergency resources.
