ABOUT US

you came to the right place

If you have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault, we understand this was a traumatic experience for you. It may be difficult for you to identify what you are feeling and you may be numb or in shock to what has happened to you. You may not know who you can tell.

Call our 24-hour hotline at 402.727.7777 or 888.721.4340

You are not alone. The Bridge believes you. We understand that this was not your fault. You can get in touch with someone called an advocate who can help you through this process, and you can even start reporting to authorities if you choose to.

We respond around-the-clock, and an advocate can meet you at the hospital or police department. That means you don’t have to be alone. These services are free and confidential, so the advocate won’t share information with anyone else.

if you are in immediate danger

If you feel threatened, unsafe, or are experiencing an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services immediately. Your safety matters, and responders are trained to assist in situations like yours.

If possible, remove yourself from the dangerous situation and go to a place where you feel safe. If you're at home, consider going to a neighbor's house or a public area until help arrives.
