HANCOCK, MI— The Dial Help crisis line has shut down for good, but a different service is now available in the Copper Country.
The Copper Shores Community Health Foundation’s 24/7 sexual assault hotline is now live. Victims of sexual assault living in Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon counties can call the hotline at any time for a variety of help.
It’s offered through the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence. Dispatchers are trained specifically to help victims of sexual assault and keep up to date on the latest coping techniques and laws. If a victim chooses, they can be connected to local law enforcement, as well as the professional advocates and services at Copper Shores Victim Support.
The hotline number is 906-482-5797.
