For many survivors, the time around leaving an abusive relationship can be especially dangerous. A thoughtful safety plan can help reduce risk and identify support when itā€™s needed.

Here are a few safety tips to consider:

1. Who are people who can help you if you leave? Think about people who will keep a bag for you. Think about people who might lend you money. Make plans for your pets; HAVEN can help with this.

2. Try to set money aside or ask friends or family members to hold your money and copies of important documents such as a driverā€™s license, marriage license, birth certificate, passport, titles, deeds, and other property information.

3. Plan how you are going to leave and practice it. If you have children, make sure the plan works for them as well. What are ways you can get out of the house ā€“ taking out the trash, walking the family pet, or going to the store?

4. Put together a bag of things you use every day. Hide it where it is easy for you to get (car, work, etc.)
