If You Are Being Abused, Make a Plan to Keep Safe
- Even if you think the abuse won't happen again, plan ahead where to go and how to get there.
- Call a shelter or hotline for help with making your plan.
- Tell someone you trust about the violence.
- Pack a bag with:
- clothes for you and your children;
- important papers like birth and shot records, photos, ID card, etc;
- an extra set of keys and a roll of quarters.
- Save a little money if you can.
Store it at a friend's, neighbor's house, or in safe hiding place.
