Albertans can contact the Family Violence Info Line anonymously and confidentially 24/7 at 310-1818 to get information and referrals to support.
(403)-310-1818 to Call, Text or Chat
Alberta’s Minister of Children and Family Services, Searle Turton, wrote a blog reminding all Albertans that they can call the Family Violence Info Line at 310-1818, any day or time, for confidential help if they are experiencing violence, worried about a loved one, or using abusive behaviours.
The blog features a link to an audio testimonial in which an Albertan humbly recounts the impacts of his abusive behaviours and his struggle to be his best version of himself. Realizing his behaviour was impacting his ability to keep a partner, job or friendships, he took the first step towards change by reaching out for help. After being connected to resources and counselling, he was better able to learn new coping skills and healthier behaviours, which enabled him to take a new direction in his life.
