If there's violence in your family, or if you or someone in your family is being hurt and feel unsafe, tell an adult so the harm can stop.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking to someone at home, school or work, consider contacting the National Anti-Violence & Sexual Harassment (NAVH) Helpline at 1800-777-0000 or make an online report. If there is immediate danger to life and safety, please call the Police at 999 or SMS 71999.
