Create a Safety Plan:
Step One: Tell people you trust that you are being abused. Talk to them about how they can help you stay safe. You may want to keep the abuse private, but when people outside your home know about the abuse, they can help keep you safe (and, if you have children, help protect them too).
Step Two: Plan where you can go if you need to leave in a hurry. Look for safe places that are open 24 hours where you can be safe while you call for help. If you plan to go to someone’s home, arrange this ahead of time. That way if you arrive with no notice, they will know to let you in, lock the doors and ask questions later. (Be careful about going to the home of a friend or relative where your abuser will think to look. That could be dangerous for everyone involved.)
Step Three: Make sure you have car keys and gas in the car, bus tickets or another means of transportation. Know exactly how to get to where you plan to go.
Step Four: Plan what you need to bring with you. Pack an emergency bag with cash, debit or credit cards, health care cards, your driver’s license and passport, prescription drugs or medications, etc. If you have children, include things for them like toys or books.
Step Five: Find out about emergency protection orders, restraining orders, peace bonds or other legal ways to stop your partner from contacting you. Your local police service or a police-based victim services unit can give you information.
If you are in an abusive relationship, think about....
- Having important phone numbers nearby for you and your children. Numbers to have are the police, emergency, hotlines, friends and the closets shelter.
- Friends or neighbors you could tell about the abuse. Ask them to call the police if they hear angry or violent noises. If you have children, teach them how to dial 911. Make up a code word that you can use when you need help.
- Know how to get out of your house safely. Practice ways to get out.
- Know what the safer places in your home are, where there are exits and no weapons. If you feel abuse is going to happen try to get your abuser to one of these safer places.
- Any weapons in the house, think about ways you can get them out of the house.
- Even if you do not plan to leave, think of where you could go. Think of how you might leave. Try doing things that get you out of the house- taking out the trash, walking the pet or going to the store. Put together a bag of things you use every day. Hide it or give it to a friend, where it is easy for you to get.
- Consider a Safety Deposit Box for your important documents.
IF YOU CONSIDER LEAVING YOUR ABUSER, THINK ABOUT…
- Four places you could go if you leave your home.
- People who might help you if you left. Think about people who will keep a bag for you. Think about people who might lend you money. Make plans for your pets.
- Keeping change for phone calls or getting a cell phone.
- Opening a bank account or getting a credit card in your name.
- How you might leave. Try doing things that get you out of the house, taking out the trash, walking the family pet, or going to the store. Practice how you would leave.
- How you could take your children with you safely. There are times when taking your children with you may put all of your lives in danger. You need to protect yourself to be able to protect your children.
- Putting together a bag of things you use every day. Hide it where it is easy for you to get.
- Change all your computer and internet Passwords
- Know how to cover your tracks online
ITEMS TO TAKE, IF POSSIBLE ..........
- Money
- Keys to care, house, work, safety deposit box
- Extra Clothes

- Items for your children (blankets, toys)
- Bankbooks, debit/credit cards
- Insurance Papers
If You Have Left Your Abuser, Think About:
- Your safety - you still need to.
- Getting a cell phone. HAVEN may be able to provide you with a cell phone that is programmed to only call 911. These phones are for when you need to call the police and cannot get to any other phone.
- Getting an EPO from the court. Keep a copy with you all the time. Give a copy to the police, people who take care of your children, their schools and your boss.
- Changing the locks. Consider putting in stronger doors, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a security system and outside lights.
- Telling friends and neighbors that your abuser no longer lives with you. Ask them to call the police if they see your abuser near your home or children.
- Telling people who take care of your children the names of people who are allowed to pick them up. If you have a PPO protecting your children, give their teachers and babysitters a copy of it.
- Telling someone at work about what has happened. Ask that person to screen your calls. If you have a PPO that includes where you work, consider giving your boss a copy of it and a picture of the abuser. Think about and practice a safety plan for your workplace. This should include going to and from work.
- Not using the same stores or businesses that you did when you were with your abuser.
- Someone that you can call if you feel down. Call that person if you are thinking about going to a support group or workshop.
- Safe way to speak with your abuser if you must.
- Going over your safety plan often.
