Increase Your SafetyLeaving a violent relationship is the most dangerous time for a victim.
But there is hope. There is help.
A great way to help to break the cycle of violence in your life is by using Safety Planning.
What is Safety Planning?
Safety Planning can save you or your loved one's life.
If you feel you are in danger, leave your home before you get abused or before the violence gets worse. You may do that without losing the right to return home. If you leave for safety reasons, you cannot be accused of desertion.
Safety Planning is beneficial for a victim of domestic violence while she/he:
- is in a relationship
- is leaving a relationship
- has left an abusive partner
