Domestic Violence Safety Planning Guide

Safety planning is an important step for anyone experiencing domestic violence. This guide provides practical tools and strategies to help individuals reduce risk, prepare for emergencies, and make informed decisions about their safety and well-being.

A safety plan is a personalized, practical plan that helps individuals identify ways to stay safe while in a relationship, planning to leave, or after leaving. It may include preparing emergency contacts, identifying safe places to go, and developing strategies to respond during a crisis.

This resource covers key areas such as connecting with emergency services, planning escape routes, protecting children, navigating the justice system, and increasing safety at home, work, and in the community. It also addresses risks such as stalking, technology safety, and ongoing well-being.

Every situation is different, and safety planning should be tailored to your unique circumstances. Support from trained professionals can help you build a plan that works for you and your family.
