Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence is a serious public health problem in the United States that can have a profound impact lifelong health, opportunity, and well-being. CDC works to understand the problem of intimate partner violence and prevent it.
A confidential, anonymous helpline for people who want to stop using abuse and control in their intimate relationships. The Helpline is also for family, friends and professionals who want to help them stop. People who are unsure about their behavior can also call the Helpline.
The Helpline operates from 10am to 10pm EST, 365 days a year. We are a helpline not a hotline: we are not considered an emergency response service.
