Help beyond Footing
Footing gives information and self-help tools — but you don't have to do this alone. These are trusted Connecticut organizations for legal help, court support, and safety. Links open the organizations' own sites.
These are independent organizations, not part of Footing, and we don't control their services. If you can, talk to a licensed attorney about your situation. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
