how to make a safety plan

  • Put aside money and clothes in case you have to leave home. Store them at a place away from the house, where you can get to them after you leave.
  • Memorize the emergency phone number of the domestic abuse shelter.
  • Tell someone you trust about the violence and set up a signal to get help.
  • Keep important documents, like your identification, social security cards and birth certificates for you and your children, in a safe place.
  • Have an extra key made for your car and home.
  • Teach children emergency numbers.
