The Southern Baptist Convention’s Office for Abuse Prevention and Response has launched a revamped helpline for those needing assistance with matters related to sexual abuse.
The initiative, a partnership with the Evangelical Council for Abuse Prevention, is designed to deliver “Gospel-focused” support for survivors, ministry leaders and others needing advice on preventing sexual abuse or responding to abuse allegations.
The helpline can be accessed at 833-611-HELP or by visiting https://sbcabuseprevention.com/helpline. The website also features email and chat options.
The SBC Office for Abuse Prevention and Response, a department of the SBC Executive Committee created last September, distributed a press release announcing the new helpline Monday (Aug. 18).
