The Brown Department of Public Safety understands that for some, home may not be a safe place. During the Covid-19 public health emergency, many people are staying home essentially all the time. According to the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, calls for help are up 29% over this same time last year. If you are afraid or need help, you are not alone. Please call the RI Helpline at 1-800-494-8100 or the National Domestic Violence Helpline at 1-800-799-7233. If you are need of immediate assistance, please don’t hesitate to call your local police department for help.
