Safety Planning Resources

A personal safety plan is a practical, personalized guide that helps you think ahead about how to stay safe in situations where you might feel at risk of harm. It outlines steps you can take in everyday life, during a crisis, or when planning for the future. A safety plan covers things like safe places to go, people you can contact for support, ways to leave quickly if needed, and strategies to stay safer online or at work.

A personal safety plan might:

  • Help you feel more prepared and in control during stressful or dangerous moments.
  • Give you clear options to turn to, so you don’t have to make quick decisions under pressure.
  • Reduce risks and increase your safety, whether you’re experiencing abuse, harassment, stalking, or simply want to be proactive about personal safety.

Additionally, the National Domestic Violence Hotline offers an interactive guide to safety planning.
