HAVE A SAFETY PLAN

northernhaven — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:13:38 +0000

Using a plan like this can keep you and your children safe. If you find yourself in an unsafe or abusive situation and need to leave immediately, being prepared can really help. Here are the things to have ready for when you need to get away:

address book and important phone numbers (family, shelters, police)
an escape route that you have previously practiced with your children
a prearranged safe place to meet close by
important documents, such as health care cards, ID, marriage certificate, copies of protection or restraining orders, insurance papers, birth certificates
any medications for your and the children
extra money for phone calls, hotels or public transit
a bank account in your name
photographs
extra clothing, as much as you can carry
household lease payments, rental agreements or deeds
house and car keys

Abuse Warning Signs Quiz

northernhaven — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 04:46:31 +0000

Does your partner, spouse or family member:

Make you feel afraid or uncomfortable?
Often put you down, humiliate you or make you feel worthless?
Try to stop you from seeing your friends or family members?
Make you feel afraid to disagree or say no to them?
Pressure or force you into unwanted sexual acts of any kind?
Scare or hurt you by being violent or hitting, pushing, breaking things?
Threaten to kill you, or themselves, if you try to leave?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then there are signs that you are not being treated right or are being abused!
