Who We Are

Help and Emergency Response, Inc. provides leadership, advocacy, and resources to survivors and communities affected by Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence, Stalking, and Human Trafficking.

The work of Help and Emergency Response, Inc. will create a safe and prosperous future for all through awareness, services, and training for lasting change in the communities we serve.

What We Do

We are a domestic violence, human trafficking and sexual assault shelter.

It is a hard transition for any person to leave their home or their belongings and come into shelter. It becomes harder still when children are added to the situation - they can be confused, scared, and anxious at new places and people. Her at HER, we do our utmost to prepare safe and welcoming spaces for women and children fleeing situations of domestic or sexual violence, homelessness, or human trafficking. Thanks to our amazing community, the common spaces and individual rooms in our shelters are up-to-date and hopefully quite lovely!

The larger of our two locations, the Portsmouth Shelter was opened in 1995 after the organization outgrew its original premises. Currently, it is also the location of our Employment, Housing, Youth and Family Services, Court Advocacy, Hotline and After Care programs.
