Bridges to Safety is a domestic abuse service center located in St. Paul, Minnesota. We provide a range of services for victim/survivors of domestic violence from Ramsey County.

Our center is operated by a collection of advocacy programs, community organizations, and governmental agencies who have joined together to provide safety and promote justice for domestic violence victims and their children.

Immediate Assistance

If you feel unsafe, call 911.

If you would like to meet with an advocate for direct services, or to get help filing an order, you can visit our center in the St. Paul and Ramsey County Courthouse or call us at (651)-266-9901. Our walk-in hours are 8:00am to 4:00pm.

If you'd like further assistance, or need help after hours or on holidays, please call the St. Paul Intervention Project, available 24 hours a day, at (651)-645-2824.

Additional Information

Please note that writing and filing a protective order can take up to a few hours. If you plan on meeting with an advocate to get help filing an order, we recommend you arrive at Bridges to Safety when we open at 8:00am, or as early as possible. Give yourself at least two hours, possibly more, for this process. Feel free to call us ahead of time to determine the wait time for filing an order.

If you want to file an order without the help of an advocate, or are filing a protective order that is unrelated to domestic violence, you can go directly to the Domestic Abuse and Harassment Office located in the Juvenile and Family Justice Center in Room 122. You can reach their office at (651)-266-5130.
