HAVING A SAFETY PLAN IN PLACE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE SAFETY OF SOMEONE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP.  BECAUSE A VICTIM'S RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY IS THE HIGHEST WHEN HE OR SHE LEAVES, CAREFUL PLANNING AHEAD OF TIME IS IMPORTANT IF LEAVING AT A MOMENTS NOTICE IS CRITICAL.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PRINT OUT THESE SAFETY PLANS FOR YOUR OWN USE.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH FORMATTING, LINES OF TEXT MAY BE CUT OFF.  IT WILL WORK BETTER TO COPY AND PASTE THE SAFETY PLANS TO A WORD DOCUMENT BEFORE PRINTING.  IT WILL ALSO ENABLE YOU TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE SO IT’S EASIER TO READ.
