Getting out of an abusive relationship can be difficult and dangerous, so arm yourself with good information.

Help can come from a variety of resources like an adult that you trust, or programs in your school or community. We've provided some resources for you here.

 
 
 
A safety plan is a tool you can use to help someone be smart about getting out of an abusive relationship. Do the thinking BEFORE taking action.

For example, decide on a code word that can signal a need for help without alarming the abuser. Let your friends and family know the code word.
