Before you contact a service

Help them understand what you need quickly

Lead with the clearest facts first

Your emotions matter, and you do not need to hide them. When time is limited, beginning with observable facts can help a hotline, hospital, shelter, attorney, school, or agency understand urgency and route you to the right care faster.

  • What happened and when
  • Whether the person can reach you now
  • Any injuries, threats, weapons, stalking, or forced contact
  • Children, dependents, pets, or service animals affected
  • Disability, communication, medication, mobility, or sensory needs
  • Housing, money, transportation, phone, or identification barriers
  • Your name and pronouns, if you want them used
  • The specific help you are asking for today
You do not have to simplify your life to deserve help

A useful plan can include chosen family, LGBTQ+ safety concerns, older adults, disability-related care, immigration concerns, emotional or psychological abuse, financial control, children, pets, and service animals. Name the barriers that affect what is safe and possible for you.
