 EVERYONE
DESERVES TO BE SAFE
If you believe you are in an abusive relationship, you
may want to take precautions to protect yourself and
your children.
 Be
prepared to get away, if necessary. Plan the safest time
to get away.
Plan with your children. Make sure they know a safe place
for them (a room with a lock, a neighbor’s house).
Reassure them that their job is to stay safe, not to
protect you.
Think
about who you can call, where you can go, and how you
can get there.
Keep
things you will need, if you have to leave quickly: house
and car keys; important papers (social security cards
and birth certificates for you and the children, driver’s
license); cash, food stamps, credit cards, checkbook;
medications for you and the children; spare set of clothes
and personal items such as glasses; important phone numbers
and addresses (friends, relatives, police, Caring Unlimited).
