AVP’s hotline hours are changing. Beginning Monday, August 10th, our new live hotline hours are:

Monday–Thursday
10 a.m.–6 p.m EST
Friday
10 a.m.–2 p.m EST

We recognize that reduced access to live support can bring up fear and concern.

Violence doesn’t keep business hours and the safest moment to ask for help may come at any time.

Our commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ survivors remains unwavering, and we are working to restore 24/7 live hotline support.

We are heartbroken by the passing of Victoria Cruz. Victoria was a beloved member of the AVP family and a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ survivors.

Her legacy lives on in every survivor who finds safety, every advocate who continues this work. We’re here if you need someone to talk to. Call our 24/7 hotline at 212-714-1141.
