INFORMATION TO GET AND STAY SAFE
If you are beginning to feel that your relationship might be abusive, consider your safety. Whether you decide to leave the relationship or not, there may be steps you can take to better protect yourself.
You are the best judge of what will be safest for you. The information on these pages is designed to explore strategies that might help you put together a safety plan (a plan for maximizing your safety) – but not every choice will work for everyone.
Remember, if you have questions about any of the material on this website, you can always contact a GMDVP victim advocate who would be happy to talk with you.
