Our hotline has been providing immediate emotional support and counselling to callers affected by domestic violence since 1986. Since October 2003, the hotline service has been modified to include follow-up services for phone-in victims who were not yet ready to take refuge in the shelter, but still in need of other supportive services. Accordingly, emotional support and psychosocial counselling were rendered to these non-residential service users.
