Safety planning

  • Do you have the important documents you need before leaving?
  • SSN cards, drivers’s licenses, passport, birth certificates, visa, etc…
  • Car title in both names, your name, or perpetrator only.
  • Is that your pet, or theirs? They find the pet, they find you!
  • Do you have a protective order. (Any acts of violence against you)
  • Do you have a protection order for the vehicle or animal?
  • Do you have enough finances or money to travel with?
  • Get a hotel off the grid, don’t stay where you normally would
  • Do you have a strong nonjudgmental support system
  • Nothing you did cause them to lash out at you, they made that decision.
