Safety Planning


Total Votes: 3 / Interest: 126

At Voices Against Violence, we safety plan with victims, friends, and family members — anyone who is concerned about their own safety or the safety of someone else.
A good safety plan will have all the vital information you need and be tailored to your unique situation, and will help walk you through different scenarios.
 
Although some of the things that you outline in your safety plan may seem obvious, it’s important to remember that in moments of crisis your brain doesn’t function the same way as when you are calm. When adrenaline is pumping through your veins, it can be hard to think clearly or make logical decisions about your safety. Having a safety plan laid out in advance can help you to protect yourself in those stressful moments.
