I don’t want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

Is there a 3 digit number you can call?
988 anywhere in the USA
988 is a phenomenal, life-saving service, but unfortunately they don’t help you get in touch with services to get out of dangerous situations.
There is the National Domestic Violence hotline, but they’re A) run by a private organization, and B) literally hang up on you unless you’re experienceing “intimate partner violence”-- because apparently all other forms of domestic violence don’t count!!!
Biggest problem is that you’d need the services everywhere for a 3-digit number to make sense.
Now if there was a 3-digit number that’d connect you to all the misc government services in your area, that’d be another thing.
In some cities 211 goes pretty far, but I don’t know how responsive they are.
