General Safety Plans
You deserve to feel safe. We’re here to help you create a plan — one that fits your life, your needs, and your future.
Everything you share with us is confidential. We will not share your information without your permission — unless someone is in immediate danger. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about what confidentiality looks like in practice.
A safety plan is a personalized, practical strategy to help keep you, your loved ones, and even your pets safe — whether you’re staying in a relationship, preparing to leave, or already out. It’s about being prepared, having choices, and knowing that support is here whenever you need it.
We’ll walk you through it, step by step — no judgment, no pressure.
What Is a Safety Plan?
A safety plan includes:
Emergency contacts
Important documents
Financial resources
Safe places to go
Trusted people to reach out to
Steps to leave quickly, if needed
It can also include special considerations for children, elders, and pets — because your whole family’s safety matters.
Think of it as a guide — one that puts power back in your hands.
Build Your Plan
1. Prepare Essential Documents
Having copies of key documents ready can save time and stress during an emergency:
State ID or Driver’s License
Tribal card
Social Security card
Birth certificates (you and children)
Medical cards & prescriptions
Any legal paperwork (restraining orders, custody documents, etc.)
Tip: Keep copies in a go-bag, at a friend’s house, or saved securely online.
2. Prepare Finances
Set aside cash if possible
Collect prepaid cards or gift cards
Open a separate bank account (if safe)
Hide spare car keys and emergency supplies
Your financial independence helps support your freedom.
3. Plan Your Exit Route
Identify safe places: shelters, friends, public buildings
Keep gas in your vehicle or know public transportation options
Know your local shelter’s number or crisis hotline
Share your plan with someone you trust
