The following is the first part in a series of articles that are each segments from the Freely Whole Safety–Exit Plan. The entire formatted, as checklists, document can be downloaded for Free here. I’ve broken it into parts for posting as articles.
Safety and Exit Plan Part 1
This Safety and Exit Plan was compiled based on my deep-dive research and information I found when I was going through and needing this. Some online, some in talking with others. (Sorry, I don’t have references.) Every resource I found differed, granted with overlapping similarities in some. But there were additional things I needed that weren’t on any lists I’d found. Nothing I found covered what I needed in one place or list. So I compiled this. I’m sure other things may need to be added, specific to your situation. Just do your best, one step at a time. And let this be a helpful—hopefully one stop—guide for you.
Don’t let it overwhelm you. Take it step-by-step and you’ll get there. If something does’t pertain to you, ignore it. If you aren’t able to get everything together before your exit, just do the best you can. Some of it will come out during disclosures. Other things may just have to be let go.
Learn nervous system regulation techniques for when everything is just too much! Stay Calm. Carry out your plan discretely, and piece by piece if you have time to do so. Check them off as you complete them. And keep this list in a safe secure place!
Start with a Go Bag, and the most important and the easiest Documents to access, and take Security measures listed as soon as you can. If things quickly become to unsafe for you to stay and you must make an emergency exit, you will have the most important things for the time being.

- *In preparation for emergency exit. One for you and each of your children. Kept in trunk of car (if that’s safe and secure) or safe location away from home.

- *Documents (minimum): color copy of drivers license, medical insurance card, birth certificates, protection order, important phone numbers.
- *Passwords for online accounts.
