If you know of someone who doesn't feel safe in their own home, there is help for them.

180 Turning Lives Around wants you to know that, especially since the Covid-19 crisis, they understand tempers could be escalating because you've been living with someone who is abusing you.

Domestic violence and sexual assault don't just stop because of a crisis like the one we are currently going through. 180 knows that's when violence and abuse can quickly escalate.

During this pandemic, many victims have been spending more time at home with their abuser and feeling isolated from getting the support they need. It's in these very trying times that survivors need 180 even more; and 180 is determined to be there for everyone who needs their services.

It takes an immense amount of courage to make the decision to leave an abusive situation  on any given day– but there are even more obstacles that the pandemic has brought which has made it even more difficult.

If you (or someone you know) need 180’s help, please call 1-888-843-9262. Calls are confidential and anonymous. So if you are living with an abuser, please know 180 has safe housing for you and your children, counseling and caring support. Call and talk confidentially to a counselor today: 888-843-9262

I'd also like to say that New Jersey Natural Gas is a great community partner that supports so many of our local non-profits including 180 Turning Lives Around.
