Is someone you know being abused?

What you can do to help...

• Listen to their concerns.

• Encourage them to call the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline:
  1-866-SAFE-014 (1-866-723-3014). This number is toll-free and confidential.

• Suggest that they file a Protection From Abuse (PFA) Order.

• Help them draft a "safety plan" and make sure that the safety plan includes:
  
  • Getting and keeping a copy of the Protection From Abuse Order
  • Developing a Safety Route
  • Leaving money, and extra set of keys, clothes and important papers with a friend
    
    
• Support your local domestic violence agency.
