Safety at Home

  1. Try not to be alone.

  2. Consider telling your parents or other family members about what is happening. They can help screen your telephone calls and visitors.

  3. Make a list of important phone numbers. Included on this list should be emergency numbers like 911, as well as supportive friends who you call when you are upset. Put the numbers of crisis lines on the list.

  4. If you are alone at home, make sure the doors are locked and the windows are secure.
