You can call now, and you do not have to say your name.
Ashgrove Haven is the domestic-violence program for this county: a helpline that answers at any hour, a shelter whose address is nowhere public, and advocates who help with the next step, whatever it is.
Eight things we do
Every one of them starts with the helpline. You do not have to be leaving, and you do not have to be sure it is abuse.
Some questions people ask themselves first
- Does someone tell you that you never do anything right?
- Are you kept from seeing friends or family, or watched when you do?
- Is the money in the household controlled without you — taken, or withheld for things you need?
- Are you insulted or shamed, especially in front of other people?
- Are you stopped from making your own decisions, about work, school, or anything else?
- Are you pressured into sex you do not want?
- Are you frightened by looks, threats, or what happens to your things?
- Has someone threatened to hurt or take the children, or a pet?
These are drawn from the National Domestic Violence Hotline’s warning signs of abuse. If some of them are true for you, that is reason enough to call. An advocate will not tell you what to do; they will help you work out what you want.

The escape button, and the Esc key
On every page, first in the tab order. The page is replaced by weather.gov and nothing else opens; the bar says so once and explains the browser history.
The bar at the top →The real hotline first
The National Domestic Violence Hotline’s number and text option, checked on thehotline.org the day this was built, in every header, before the organization’s own line.
Get help →Eight services you can scan
One-colour icons, one line each, from a sheet staff edit. A person in crisis reads the grid in seconds.
The grid →Groups with a state
Open or full, with the next start date, in the language it runs in. Where a group meets is never on the page.
Support & groups →A wishlist staff actually edit
Tick “needed this month” on one sheet and the Give page reorders itself; the thrift store says open or closed from its own hours.
The wishlist →The staff side
One menu for services, groups, the wishlist, store hours, roles, numbers and documents. Signs you in as sample staff; nothing you change is saved.
