Crisis lines to help those affected by domestic and family violence in Manitoba will now be introducing a new texting option.
Executive director of the Parkland Crisis Centre (PCC) Kari Prawdzik says the texting options give Manitobans a more discreet way to find support when family violence makes the home no longer safe.
Support resources can be accessed by texting (204)-792-5302 or (204)-805-6682.
The Parkland Crisis Centre executive director also wants the public to know they are still open, but have suspended walk-in counselling for the time being.
“The Parkland Crisis Centre is open, however, we are still abiding the COVID-19 provincial requirements. We are doing all we can to keep everyone safe while in our centre.”
Prawdzik is still unsure when in-person services will resume, but says anyone needing domestic abuse counselling or information at this time can call the Centre anytime at (204)-638-9484.
The province has more information online for Manitobans here, and also have a toll-free crisis line at 1-877-977-0007.
