24-hour, 7 days per week crisis line services
Gateway's 24-hour Crisis Line is often a victim's first step towards
making others aware of their situation and getting the help they need.
Our Crisis Line is staffed with trained counselors and volunteers ready
to listen and give referrals to women who are experiencing
psychological and physical abuse in their relationships. Crisis
services continue to expand to serve the hearing-impaired and those who
do not speak Spanish or English.
