The vision of Domestic Violence Intervention of Lebanon County, Inc. (DVI) is "To create safety and seek justice for victims of domestic violence and their families."
We believe that no person has the right to harm another. It is our goal to provide support, sanctuary and assistance to all victims of violence in the communities of Lebanon County. We consider it our mission to unite and educate the residents of these communities by advocating for justice and creating safety for all victims and their families so they may live free from abuse.
Whether you need to talk to someone about a situation you are involved in, or to learn how to help someone you care for who may be in danger, we are here, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to answer your call. We know that sometimes all you need is a caring voice on the line to remind you that there is hope in any situation. That is why each member of our staff chooses to work here: we want you, your friend, your neighbor, your family member - any and all victims of domestic violence - to know that someone is there who can help and that there can be a brighter future free of hateful words, hands that hit, fear and isolation. We know that it is possible and we want you to know that too.
We are here for you, day or night, to give you the help you need. We can provide assistance in English or with notice, Spanish. We have the ability to access more than 140 languages but this must be arranged in advance through interpreter services. All of our services are free of charge. If you or someone you know is in a violent or controlling relationship, please call us on our hotline: 1-717-273-7190 or toll free 1-866-686-0451. We'll listen. We'll help you find hope again.
