Help is now a text message away for those facing domestic violence in the Milwaukee area.
The Sojourner Family Peace Center has launched a 24-hour texting hotline to complement its existing phone support line. The service will allow people who lack privacy to access help quickly and discreetly. I expect that this service will be meaningful for people who don t feel comfortable with verbally reaching out to someone, said Carmen Pitre, president and chief executive. Someone who s trapped can t make a call. They might be able to take a minute in the bathroom and text, she said.
Trained staff and volunteers will be responding to messages and offering support and resources. The ultimate goal is to connect verbally, if it s safe.
