Safety Planning:
There are many obstacles to achieving safety or to ending a relationship with a violent partner. The choices you confront are not risk-free.
Decisions that are beneficial in the long run, such as leaving the abusive person or obtaining a protective order can actually increase immediate danger for you and your children. Safety planning is the process of evaluating the risks and benefits of different options and identifying ways to reduce risks. Your domestic violence counselor can help you establish a individual safety plan to meet your needs.
There is help. You are not alone.
