Safety With Your Partner

  1. Try not to be alone with your partner, or to be alone in an isolated or deserted location. Go out to public places.

  2. Try to double date or to go out with a group of people.

  3. Let other people know what your plans are and where you will be.

  4. Try not to be dependent on your partner for a ride.

  5. Always keep extra change, a cell phone, or a phone card with you in case you need to make a phone call.

  6. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If you feel you are in danger, call the police. Get help immediately. Do not minimize your fears.
