Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline

The Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline serves as a citywide point of access for crisis counseling, safety planning, resources, referrals, and intake to WAA's emergency shelter.

Aftercare Services

Aftercare services ensure that families who are moving on from shelter or transitional housing apartments receive continued support. Aftercare ensures that families have assistance should they run into obstacles. Continued support helps promote self-sufficiency and independence in order to prevent victims from returning to an abuser due to financial, legal or housing-related reasons.

New Initiatives

The Telephone Outreach Program increases outreach to victims in needs who might not know about free domestic violence services that can help them end the abuse. Learn about this and other new initiatives started by WAA!
