SAFETY PLANNING

A safety plan is a personalized plan to help you think through ways to increase your safety.


Consider:

  • Who can you call for help? 

  • Where can you go if you need to leave? 

  • Can you safely gather important documents? 

  • Can you create an emergency bag? 

  • Can you identify a safe place? 

  • Can you protect your digital accounts and passwords? 

  • Are children included in your safety plan? 

Carry-On Suitcase

IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THEY ARE BEING ABUSED

Listen.
Believe them.
Avoid judgment.


Do not ask, “Why don't you just leave?”


Instead, ask:
“How can I support you?”
