Why a Violence Prevention Hotline?

Healing is possible. We believe violence and community trauma are preventable as well.

Like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, The Violence Prevention Hotline is designed to be a point of connection during moments of distress. Our counselors support people who are overwhelmed, angry, or afraid—and who need help before harm occurs. The key difference is focus: this hotline exists specifically to support people who are worried about acting on violent thoughts toward others.

The Violence Prevention Hotline also supports victims of violence by offering confidential guidance, education, and referrals to professional resources. By addressing risk early and responding with care, we work to reduce the impact of violence on individuals, families, and communities.

NVPH is not liable for damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Services. NVPH is not responsible for decisions that you or others make, or actions you or others take or do not take, while you are using the Services or as a result of your doing so, including but not limited to decisions about commencing or continuing mental health care or other supportive services, treatments, or medications. Please review our Terms of Service for further information.

NVPH recognizes the sensitivity of your Personal Information. NVPH is not a mental healthcare treatment or provider, and your use of the Services does not give rise to the legal obligations of confidentiality that may be associated with professional healthcare providers. We nonetheless endeavor to maintain confidentiality when it is legal and safe to do so. Please review our Privacy Policy for further information.
