Where to go and who to call when danger comes (safety planning)

📞 Safety planning is the calm crisis strategy of arranging, in advance, a place to shelter, emergency contacts, key documents, and funds against an urgent threat.

It doesn't mean ending the relationship today — it means building the safeguards that protect you if danger ever comes.

Often seen in situations like these

📞 Keep help-line contacts on a device they can't see, or with someone you trust.
👜 Stage your ID, bank record copies, a change of clothes, and emergency cash somewhere safe — somewhere discovery wouldn't raise the danger.

When this happens, try this

💡 Keep your ID, bank copies, and emergency cash somewhere they can't easily find. If you sense physical threat, don't hesitate — call 911, or the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233), right away.
