Eradicate Hate’s Reach Out Resource Hub

The Reach Out Resource Hub is a first-of-its-kind national directory that helps you to find support in your local area. Whether you're worried about someone, impacted by hate-fueled violence, or struggling yourself, you can search by where you live and what kind of help you need. This makes it easier to find the right support and resources before, during, and after an act of hate-fueled violence. Never worry alone. Check out the Reach Out Resource Hub to find the help that fits your needs.

The best way to help a loved one whom you’re concerned about is to seek professional help. Don’t wait. A practitioner may be able to offer assistance and possibly prevent a tragedy.

NOTE: If you or someone you know is in immediate danger of committing an act of targeted violence or terrorism, please contact your local law enforcement agency at 911.
