WHAT IS A SAFETY PLAN?
A safety plan is personal. It should fit your situation.
A safety plan can include safer communication, where you may go, trusted people, medication, documents, transportation, work, school, and technology considerations.
PREPARING TO LEAVE
Think through practical details before you need them.
Where You May Go
Consider a trusted person, public location, shelter resource, emergency service, or another place that may be safe.
Transportation
Think about vehicle access, keys, fuel, public transportation, or a trusted ride.
Timing
Consider when leaving may involve less risk and what circumstances could affect that decision.
Essentials
Keep in mind identification, medication, documents, keys, money, clothing, and other necessities.
Faith and Grace Support
Faith & Grace may help explain shelter, resources, and safer next steps based on your situation.
IMPORTANT ITEMS
Bring what you safely can. Your safety comes first.
Do not delay leaving an unsafe situation because you cannot collect documents, medication, or belongings.
Identification and Documents
Consider identification, birth certificates, insurance information, important legal documents, school records, and healthcare information when safely available.
Medication and Medical Needs
Prescription medication, medical devices, dosage information, pharmacy details, and healthcare contacts may be important.
Money, Keys, and Essentials
Consider access to cash, cards, keys, phone chargers, clothing, toiletries, and basic necessities when safely possible.
TECHNOLOGY SAFETY
Phones, accounts, and connected devices can reveal more than you expect.
Technology may be used to monitor location, messages, browsing, account activity, or connected devices.
Use a Safer Device When Possible
A trusted person's phone, library computer, workplace device, or another unshared device may be safer.
Review Account Access Carefully
Shared accounts, browser sync, saved passwords, and cloud services may reveal activity across devices.
Location Services
Phones, apps, vehicles, smartwatches, and shared accounts may store or share location information.
Quick Escape Does Not Erase History
It leaves this website immediately, but it does not erase browser history, account activity, or network records.
SAFE COMMUNICATION
Decide how and when it is safest for someone to contact you.
Safe Phone Number
Use a phone number another person cannot easily access or monitor when possible.
Safe Email
Use an email account that is private and not automatically signed in on a shared device.
Voicemail
Tell Faith and Grace whether leaving a voicemail is safe.
Text Messaging
Tell Faith and Grace whether receiving a text message is safe.
Best Time to Contact
Choose a time when receiving a call, message, or email is less likely to create risk.
DAILY ROUTINES
Think about the places and routines that may affect your safety.
Work
Consider whether a trusted supervisor, security team, coworker, or workplace policy could help.
School
Consider authorized pickup, contact information, routines, and whether staff need specific safety instructions.
Transportation
Think about vehicle access, spare keys, fuel, public transportation, and trusted rides.
Regular Routines
Routes, schedules, appointments, and frequently visited locations may become predictable.
TRUSTED SUPPORT
A small circle of trusted people can be part of your safety plan.
You may choose people who understand that you may need support, transportation, a place to stay, help contacting emergency services, or someone to check in with.
AFTER LEAVING
Safety planning can continue after you leave.
Protect Location Information
Be careful about addresses, photos, check-ins, shared accounts, and information passed through mutual contacts.
Review Accounts and Devices
When safe, consider reviewing passwords, device sharing, location settings, and connected services.
Update Trusted Contacts
Let appropriate trusted people know what information should and should not be shared.
Keep Planning Practical
Housing, transportation, work, school, healthcare, and finances may continue to affect safety and stability.
HELPING SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT
Support them without taking control of their decisions.
Listening, respecting choices, offering practical help, and staying available may be more useful
than pressuring someone to leave.
