Your
Safety is Important
-
An
advocate can help you make a detailed safety plan for home, work &
in public.
-
If
you can't avoid an argument, try to be in a room with an exit, not in a
bathroom, kitchen, garage or anywhere near weapons.
-
Practice
how to get out of your home safely.
-
Have
a packed bag ready & keep it at a relative or friend's home. Make
sure you have important papers, extra keys, medication, money, etc.
-
Devise
a code word to use with your children, family, friends & neighbors
when you need the police.
-
Decide
& plan where you will go if you decide to leave. Use your own
instincts & judgment to keep yourself safe.
-
Get a
cell phone from the police or an advocate.
