Lethality Assessments
SAFV advocates can help you determine how dangerous or lethal your partner is. The lethality assessment asks a series of questions involving the emotional, physical, and sexual violence your partner has inflicted upon you and your children. This information can be used to help you develop a safety plan.
Safety Planning
SAFV advocates can assist you in making a safety plan for you and your children. The plan can help you stay safe whether you are remaining in a relationship, trying to leave, or have already left your partner. The plan can include a stay at the shelter, the use of one of SAFV’s 911 cell phones, a financial plan, and much more.
Support Groups
