Our diverse volunteers and staff are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to support LGBTQQ people facing harassment, threats, attacks, and abuse. Our Crisis Line Counselors are certified in California to provide Domestic Violence and Crisis Peer-Counseling. They respond to over 1,200 callers annually, providing emotional support, service referrals, and safety planning to LGBTQQ looking to find safety and healing. Many of these callers seek further assistance and services through our direct service programs.

If you are in need of immediate support, please call (415) 333-HELP (4357), or come to our walk-in hours 11am-1pm Monday, Wednesday, or Friday at 170A Capp Street, between 16th St. and 17th St.
