PSA: Chelmsford PD has responded to multiple domestic incidents in the past few days. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has a 24/7 service called SafeLink. SafeLink is Massachusetts’ statewide 24/7 toll-free domestic violence hotline and a resource for anyone affected by domestic or dating violence. Are you worried about someone or do you have questions about abuse? Do you recognize warning signs of an unhealthy relationship? Do you need help or support? Call us. Each call is answered by a trained advocate who provides non-judgmental support, assistance with safety planning, and information on appropriate resources. SafeLink’s state-of-the-art technology allows the advocate answering your call to keep you on the line while you are being connected to a resource in your area, getting you help in just a single call. It is also OK to call SafeLink if you need to talk about your situation or someone else’s – you do not need to be looking for services or a shelter space. The SafeLink toll-free number is (877) 785-2020. Advocates are bilingual in English and Spanish and have access to a service that can provide translation in more than 130 languages.
