Risk Management Plan

Everyone has the right to live a life free from abuse and all other forms of violence and oppression. You have taken a big step in your journey towards safety by using this tool. You are the expert of your life; it is important to trust your own judgment as you use this tool and later, its strategies.

This Risk Management Plan is a personalized tool that will guide you through reflecting on the risks of violence in your life, and choosing some protective actions to manage those risks. You might be familiar with the term "Safety Plan" -- this is a similar tool. As violence is an unpredictable choice made by the person causing harm, you cannot plan for safety, but you can do what is in your control to be aware of and prepare to manage risks.
