Safety Plan~

If you are or have been involved in an abusive relationship and are concerned that you may be in danger, here’s a safety plan: 

• Establish a safe place to go that’s unknown to the batterer 

• Know and hold on to emergency numbers (police, shelters) 

• Tell someone you trust what is happening 

• Trust your instincts – if you feel you are in danger, get out

• Hide important documents, extra money, keys etc to take if you need to get out 

• Plan with your children in case of a violent incident 

• If you have an advocate, discuss a safety plan with them
