Episode 159 | How The National Domestic Violence Hotline Can Help You, ft. Melissa Dolak-Keller

Trigger warning: This episode mentions domestic violence. Listener discretion advised.
This episode wraps up my month-long series for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and I’m so excited to have the National Domestic Violence Hotline sponsoring this episode.
It’s been a powerful month of sharing survivor stories, raising awareness & providing resources.
In this episode, we’re diving into the incredible work The Hotline is doing to support those impacted by domestic violence and how they’re helping people take steps toward safety & healing. Allow me to introduce today’s guest, Melissa Dolak-Keller.
With 8+ years of experience at The Hotline, Melissa has worked in multiple roles, from Digital Advocate to Shift Support Specialist & has recently returned to providing direct support to survivors.
After 15 years in the private sector, she found her true calling in victim services, earning a diploma in Violence Against Women from Rutgers & volunteering at a DV shelter before joining The Hotline.
Melissa is committed to helping others & has contributed to the organization’s training, mentorship, and wellness programs.
This week, Melissa shares valuable insights from her years at The Hotline.
We discuss the different forms of abuse, the importance of safety planning & how The Hotline provides confidential, judgment-free support for survivors.
Melissa also highlights the complexities of leaving abusive relationships & the critical role community support plays in the healing journey.
As we close out DVAM, I want to remind you that help is always available. If you or someone you know is in need of support, reach out to The Hotline for free, confidential resources. You don’t have to go through this alone—support is just a call or text away.
