Kankakee, IL – As Domestic Violence Awareness Month continues this October, Harbor House – Kankakee County Coalition Against Domestic Violence – is reminding residents that help and hope are always available for those experiencing abuse.
According to the organization, survivors can access immediate, confidential support through Harbor House’s 24-hour hotline and chatline, offering crisis intervention and safety planning any time of day.
The agency also provides a domestic violence emergency shelter for survivors and their children, individual and family counseling, and legal advocacy to help navigate court proceedings. Additional services include case management, community outreach, and education programs to build awareness and connect residents with local resources.
“No one should have to face abuse alone,” Harbor House staff emphasized in a recent statement. The coalition encourages anyone in need—or anyone who knows someone who may need help—to call the 24-Hour Hotline at 815-432-5800 or visit harborhousedv.org/chat-with-us-now for online support.
Throughout October, the organization is also working to raise awareness across Kankakee County and surrounding communities, urging residents to learn the signs of abuse and share hotline information to potentially save lives.
