Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse are urgent and sensitive issues that must have an immediate and specific response.
The abuse help line is a critical tool for local leaders who encounter any form of abuse.
Who is this for?
This is for priesthood unit leaders, which includes bishops, branch presidents, stake presidents, district presidents, and mission presidents.
How it works
Priesthood unit leaders who are informed of abuse by either the abuser or the abused are required to immediately contact the abuse help line. They will be given counsel on legal requirements and ministering support.
Where to learn more
