"The StrongHearts Native Helpline (1-844-7NATIVE) the first national helpline created specifically to support Native American survivors and concerned family members and friends affected by domestic violence and dating violence, is celebrating its first year in operation.
StrongHearts Native Helpline (StrongHearts) has been in service since March 6, 2017, and has responded to calls from 68 American Indian and Alaska Native communities across 40 states, and have offered support services specifically dedicated toward Native survivors of intimate partner abuse.
Last year, StrongHearts launched as a collaborative project of the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center and the National Domestic Violence Hotline, as one way to treat the epidemic of violence in Native communities."
