Domestic Violence Resources for Native Americans

The StrongHearts Native Helpline offers free, confidential support services for Native American and Alaska Native survivors of domestic violence every day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. CST through a partnership between The Hotline and the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center. Note: contacts made to StrongHearts after hours will have the option to connect with advocates from The Hotline.

StrongHearts advocates have a strong knowledge of Native cultures and communities, including issues of tribal sovereignty and the law, and may be able to help you identify resources specific to your community.
