If you are living with intimate partner violence, having a safety plan can help increase your safety – whether you stay, leave or are unsure.

Consider these safety planning tips:

• Teach children how to use the phone and when to call for help.
• Create a code word with kids or trusted people for if/when you need help.
• Keep your wallet/purse, keys, and phone where you can grab them quickly.
• Prepare a safety pack. Keep it hidden or stored with someone you trust. If possible, include legal documents, licenses/health cards, medications, extra clothing for you and your children and cash, credit or debit cards.
• Talk with trusted people about your plan.
• If possible, open a separate bank account to save money when possible.
• Keep a list of emergency numbers and contacts.

If someone trusts you with the details of their safety plan or confides in you, listen without judgement, respect confidentiality and support their choices. If you believe they are in immediate danger, prioritize safety by staying with them if possible and calling 9-1-1 right away.

You deserve safety and support. Help is available from police, provincial supports and community-based organizations across Newfoundland and Labrador.

You can find more information about supports in your area at gov.nl.ca/vpi/information-about-violence/where-to-get-help/.
