EYEONDV DV SAFETY PLAN (WHILE STILL WITH YOUR ABUSER)
Memorize emergency contacts and phone numbers. If you have children, make sure they also memorize these names and phone numbers. Also, make sure your children know when, how, and why to call 911. Have a prepaid phone card or prepaid phone card on hand.
Have domestic violence information and resources on hand but well hidden so your abuser can not find them.
Open a bank account or safe deposit box that your abuser doesn’t know about.
STAY IN TOUCH WITH FRIENDS THAT CAN BE TRUSTED. Get to know your neighbors. JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP.
Leave a change of clothes, extra money, a set of keys, and copies of important documents with a TRUSTED FRIEND or RELATIVE that you can get in touch with 24 hours a day.
Rehearse your established exit strategy until you know it by heart: where you will go (and an alternate in case your initial plan fails), what you will take with you, etc.
