Important limitations
Safety & Information Disclaimer
Important emergency, legal, medical, and safety limitations.
Your situation is unique
General safety tips cannot account for every risk. An abusive person may react unpredictably to changes, separation, technology settings, financial steps, or help-seeking. Consider speaking with a trained advocate before making changes when it is safe to do so.
Not professional advice
Safe Haven content is not a substitute for emergency response, legal counsel, healthcare, therapy, financial advice, or individualized advocacy. Laws and available services vary by location.
Technology warning
Devices, vehicles, accounts, smart-home products, and networks can be monitored. Changing passwords or settings may alert another person. A safer device and advocate-guided technology plan may reduce risk, but no website can guarantee privacy.
