Safety Planning

Introduction
Safety is an important priority when living with domestic violence. The following safety plan can serve as a helpful resource in developing safe choices, exploring options and addressing areas of concern with which you may be faced.

This safety plan is not meant to be filled out all at once. It is designed to be filled out in sections that are appropriate to your needs as you are ready to approach them.

It may be helpful for you to fill out the plan with the help of a domestic violence advocate. You can access an advocate by contacting your local crisis center. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE) can help you locate a crisis center in your area.

Leaving a domestic violence relationship is a process. It is important to keep in mind that there is help and support available. You are not alone.

Personal Safety Plan
The following steps represent a plan for increasing my safety and preparing in advance for the possibility of further violence. Although I do not have control over my partner's violence, I do have a choice about how to respond to him/her and how best to get my children and myself to safety.

Step 1: Safety during a violent incident.
Step 2: Safety when preparing to leave.
Step 3: Safety in my own residence.
Step 4: Safety with a protection order.
Step 5: Safety on the job and in public.
Step 6: Safety and alcohol or other drug use.
Step 7: Safety and my emotional health.
Step 8: Items to take when leaving.
