Overview
Mission
To provide free, confidential, expert support for people in distress and feeling compelled toward committing acts of violence in the future.
What it reported doing in 2025
The national violence prevention hotline proposes to provide an opportunity to people to address their distress before becoming violent, address the gaps in the mental health service and normalize anger as an emotion that does not necessarily need to lead to violence, and decrease the stigma toward the individuals unable to control their anger due to the lack of mental health services to address their trauma or personal issues.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up.
