Many factors can compromise a victim's safety.
As a helper, you may be in a position to help a victim identify these factors and plan for her safety. The following Personalized Safety Plan is one example of a tool that can help a victim make safe choices. This plan addresses many of the specific details that are often missed as victims move through systems, services and in personal planning. The plan is designed to be completed by the victim with the assistance of an advocate or helper. It is also designed to be completed in sections that are applicable to meet the victim's needs as she is ready to address them and not necessarily all at one session.
