Your safety is the most important concern. If you are in immediate
danger, call 911.
If you are not in immediate danger, you can
* Get medical care if you have been injured or sexually assaulted
* Call a helpline for free, anonymous help. You can contact the
National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or
800-787-3224 (TTY).
* Find out where to get help in your community. Contact local
organizations that can help you.
* Make a safety plan to leave. Domestic violence usually does not get
better. Think about a safe place for you to go and all of the things
that you will need when you leave.
* Save the evidence. Keep evidence of abuse, such as pictures of your
injuries or threatening emails or texts. Make sure that it is in a safe
place the abuser cannot access.
* Talk to someone you trust, such as a family member, a friend, a
co-worker, or a spiritual leader
* Consider getting a restraining order to protect yourself
