Create a Safety Plan
First off and most important, if you are in immediate danger dial 911
Join a support group, there are many out there. I really enjoy this one, they offer great help and support. Women Against Domestic Violence
Keep important phone numbers with you and always have spare change.
Let your friends, family, & neighbors know of the violence and ask them to call the police if they believe that you are in danger.
Find a person or place where you can leave clothes, important documents, keys, and money, (in case you have to leave in a hurry.)
Develop a code word to use with friends and family to let them know that you are in danger.
Make an escape plan and practice it often
REMEMBER: YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
