Safety Plan

If you're in a bad relationship:

>> Have a safe place to go if an argument occurs - avoid rooms with no exits or rooms with weapons.

>> Make a list of people to contact.

>> Keep change with you at all times.

>> Memorize important numbers.

>> Establish a code word or sign so that family or friends know when to call for help.
