tip411 enables victims and survivors of abuse to contact your organization’s victim advocates, who can then respond in real time from any internet connected device, creating a two way anonymous chat.

For people who are experiencing domestic violence, mandatory lockdowns to curb the spread of COVID-19 have trapped them in their homes with their abusers, isolated from the people and the resources that could help them.

Victims have little physical distance from their abusers and find texting is safer than calling.

While the national domestic violence hotline has been providing online live chat and text messaging for more than a decade, local hotlines often only have the capacity to take calls, tip411 can change the way survivors communicate with organizations to seek help.
