You are in: Awareness Program
Are You a Victim? SURVIVAL TIPS:
Keep with someone you trust: a spare set of keys, a set of clothes, important papers, prescriptions and some money.
- Keep any evidence of physical abuse (ripped clothes, photos of bruises and injuries, etc.)
- Plan the safest time to get away.
- Know where you can go for help. Tell someone what is happening to you. Keep the phone numbers of friends, relatives and the domestic violence shelter with you.
- Call the police if you are in danger and need help.
- If you are injured, go to the hospital emergency room or doctor and report what happened to you. Ask that they document your visit.
- Plan with your children and identify a safe place for them---a room with a lock or a neighbor's house where they can go for help. Reassure them their job is to stay safe, not to protect you!!
- Arrange a signal with a neighbor, i.e., if the porch light is on call the police.
- Contact the Salvation Army Domestic Violence & Rape Crisis Program to find out about laws, legal assistance and other resources available to you before you have to use them or during a crisis.....
