Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to end domestic violence in Utah through advocacy, education, collaboration, and leadership. The organization is the nationally recognized domestic violence coalition for the state of Utah.

What it reported doing in 2024

Linkline udvc's hotline was established in 1993 and has served thousands of victims of domestic violence as the only state-wide, free, confidential, and anonymous hotline where callers receive crisis intervention, safety planning, information and referral services on safe shelters, community resources, legal assistance, victim advocates, counseling agencies and other needs. The linkline uses the lethality assessment protocol (lap) - a tool designed to save lives that involves an assessment by law enforcement to determine victim risk and encourages collaboration with community-based victim service providers. Udvc also partners with the refugee & immigrant center to develop services for victims of human trafficking and a protocol to assist trafficking victims at high risk to be connected with immediate expert assistance. All calls are answered by trained domestic violence advocates. The linkline operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 1-800-897- link (5465).
