Domestic Violence Safety Plan
1. Move to a room with easy access to an exit. Don't go to the kitchen, bathroom or near possible
weapons.
2. Know the quickest route out of your house. Practice escaping that way.
3. Know the quickest route out of your workplace. Practice escaping that way. Domestic violence
does not just occur in your home.
4. Pack a bag and have it ready. Keep it hidden but make it easy to grab quickly.
5. Tell your neighbors about your abuse and ask them to call the police when they hear a disturbance.
6. Have a code word to use with your kids, family, and friends. They will know to call the police
and get help for you.
7. Know where you are going to go if you ever have to leave.
8. Use your instincts.
9. You have the right to protect yourself and your kids.
Remember, there is always someone who can help you. You are never alone.
