ZeroV to roll out new domestic violence crisis phone line for 8-county area near Elizabethtown starting July 1

ZeroV announced that people experiencing a domestic violence crisis across an eight-county region surrounding Elizabethtown will have access to a new phone number to call starting July 1. The change is intended to make it easier for people in the area to reach crisis support quickly when they need immediate help, according to the announcement reported by WAVE.

The new crisis line is part of ZeroV’s broader network of partner organizations in Kentucky. WAVE’s coverage included a map describing ZeroV’s partner organizations across the state, reflecting that the organization coordinates with local entities that respond to domestic violence and related safety needs.

While the announcement establishes a specific start date for the updated phone number, the scope of services and whether the line includes additional options such as chat or text were not detailed in the provided report summary. The coverage also did not specify whether callers can expect any changes to routing, hours, or transfer procedures for the area.

For residents, the practical effect of the update is timing. Beginning on July 1, people in the targeted eight-county region will be directed to the new number when seeking domestic violence crisis assistance, rather than the previous routing used before the rollout.

Local community partners participating in ZeroV’s Kentucky network are expected to help connect residents to the crisis response system. Domestic violence hotline access is commonly used as an entry point for safety planning, crisis counseling, and referrals, and the July 1 update is designed to ensure the region has a clear, consistent phone pathway to reach that support.

The next step for the public will be to note the new phone number once it is published for the region. Because domestic violence situations can involve urgent safety decisions, residents in the eight-county area are likely to need the updated contact information in advance of the July 1 effective date, rather than after the new number is in service.
