Safety Planning

Safety Planning

Any time you feel threatened, call 9-1-1.

Jessie’s House Crisis Line: 1-866-939-2850

If you are in an abusive relationship, safety planning can be essential in reducing the amount of risk that you and your children face. By having a safety plan in place, you will know what to do in case of an emergency and will be more likely to make a successful escape.

There is no right or wrong way to make a safety plan; it should above all be something that will work for you. Review it often and make changes as you need to; if possible, review it with a social worker, family violence worker, or police officer.

Safety plans are used by people who:

  • Want to leave an abusive situation, but need help doing so safely
  • Are not sure about leaving but want to have an option in case the domestic abuse escalates
  • Have already left an abusive situation and are still worried about the threat of family violence

Our Crisis Line staff can provide support and safety planning 24/7: 1-866-939-2850.

Our Family Violence Outreach Worker can also conduct a danger assessment, help you create a personalized safety plan and connect you to community supports. Call 587-879-6125, weekdays from 8:30 to 4:00 pm.

The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation acknowledges the traditional lands upon which we live, work, and play. We are located on Treaty 6 land, and we wish to thank the Cree, Blackfoot, Assiniboine, Dene, Iroquois, Inuit, and many other nations who have gathered on these lands for thousands of years. We also thank the Métis people of the North Saskatchewan River Territory and Western Canada.

This land has been welcoming guests for tens of thousands of years. We wish to acknowledge the many migrants who have made Canada their home. Many of these migrants are also Indigenous to their home countries and have also been colonized for hundreds of years. This legacy of colonization has left Indigenous peoples impoverished as the colonizers took away land and extracted rich resources. These migrants had to leave their countries to seek a better life for their families.

We recognize that all Albertans are Treaty people and have a responsibility to understand our history so that we can honor the past, be aware of the present, and create a just and caring future. We celebrate and value the resiliency, successes, and teachings that Alberta’s Indigenous people have shown us. We honour the legacy of colonization and its impacts on Indigenous Albertans and newcomers. Most of all, we are grateful to the Indigenous people of Alberta for sharing their land with us and blessing us with its abundance.
