I’m scared that my (ex-)partner will find out that I’m contacting you. What should I do?

If you are worried about your device being monitored, try to use a family member or friend’s device, an inexpensive or spare phone that your (ex-)partner is unaware of, or a work phone or email, to contact us. If that’s not possible, we offer an in-person drop-in service at our office.

Once referred, our team will also make a note on whether your phone number or email is safe to call, text or email your back on, and note any other relevant details.
