Do you need help?
Call our 24-hour crisis line. In an emergency call 911.
Interval House offers essential services to intimate partner violence survivors and their children. Our crisis line remains open 24-7 and we are still accepting abuse survivors on the road to independence into our Building Economic Self-Sufficiency program. Now, more than ever, we must stand by survivors and ensure there is a safe place to go if they are experiencing abuse. If you need support, please call our crisis line 1-888-293-5516 or email info@intervalhouse.ca. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger. If you can help us support survivors, please donate today.
