You don't have to face this alone.
Northlight is a community referral and navigation hub connecting women to the right resources at the right time — through our 24/7 hotline, Mini Resource Centers, and verified community partners.
All services are free, confidential, and available in multiple languages.
Three ways to reach us.
Our hotline offers three distinct pathways — each designed to meet you exactly where you are. All services are free, confidential, and available 24/7.
Crisis Support
Immediate, trauma-informed intervention for individuals in acute crisis. Our trained advocates provide safety planning, de-escalation, and real-time support.
Resource & Referral
Warm referrals to emergency housing, legal aid, domestic violence services, counseling, and wraparound programs. We connect you to verified, barrier-free services.
Emotional Support
Compassionate, non-crisis emotional support for women navigating the long road after trauma. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to.
You don't need a reason to call.
But if you're wondering whether your situation "counts" — here are some times when reaching out can help.
You are in immediate danger or crisis
You need help finding emergency housing or shelter
You are experiencing domestic violence or exploitation
You need someone to talk to about trauma or mental health
You are unsure where to turn for help
You need referrals to legal aid, counseling, or support services
You are navigating the space after crisis and need ongoing support
You just need to know someone is listening
If you're unsure, call anyway. We're here to listen, not to judge.
From crisis to clarity.
The Mini Resource Center (MRC) is a centralized support hub designed to provide immediate access to essential mental health, crisis, and community-based resources.
The MRC complements our 24/7 Crisis Hotline by offering curated referrals, educational tools, and follow-up support that help individuals move from crisis toward stability and empowerment.
It prioritizes trauma-informed care, accessibility, and dignity — ensuring practical help without overwhelm.
