Contact a Victim Advocate Hotline and Find Other Important Numbers

You don't have to face abuse alone.

Our Victim Advocates are trained professionals available day and night to walk with you through the steps of finding safety. They can help you create a plan to stay safe, explain your reporting options, and connect you with both military and civilian services.

Woman looking out a window

When you reach out, you decide how much to share. Some people choose Restricted Reporting, which allows them to receive medical care and advocacy without involving command or law enforcement. Others choose Unrestricted Reporting, which starts an official investigation and gives access to the widest set of protections and services. Advocates will explain both options so you can choose what feels right.

If you feel unsafe, don’t wait – help is available right now.

In an emergency, always call 911 first. For domestic abuse, contact the 24/7 Family Advocacy Hotline. If you believe a child is being harmed, call Military Police or your state’s child protection hotline.

Man on the phone

If you’re unsure where to turn, your local Victim Advocate can help. Calls can be private, and advocates are trained to listen, guide you, and connect you with resources such as medical care, counseling, housing, or legal support.
