Every individual has a right to be physically safe in our families and in our community.

If you or someone you are with is in immediate crisis, dial 911

Why this matters to us

Physical safety means living without the threat of being physically harmed, put in danger, or exposed to violence.

Our community thrives when everyone feels–and is–physically safe. We can joyfully express our true selves, we can learn good life skills now and teach them to future generations, and we can help guarantee a vibrant future for our people.

 Some of the things we can do to create safety include making sure that threats of physical violence are not tolerated among and between us; being aware of others’ states of mind and offering a listening ear when needed; and looking to helpers when we don’t quite know the best path forward for ourselves or our families and friends. Together, we can make sure that everyone in our community has a foundation of safety to grow on.

Facts & Overview

When it comes to physical safety, being prepared and knowing who to call in an emergency can make all the difference. Whether you’re facing a serious emergency or just want to make sure you’re taking steps to stay safe, there are resources available to support you.

If you need immediate help:

  • Dial 911 for emergencies.

Safety Planning:
Having a safety plan in place can help you stay calm and know what to do if you’re ever in a tough or dangerous situation. Here are a few ways you can prepare:

  • Identify a safe space: Know where you can go to feel secure in your home or community.
  • Have a code word: This is a word or phrase you can use with loved ones to signal if you need help without alerting anyone else.
  • Know who to call: Have a list of people to reach out to in case you need support—whether it’s for help getting to safety or just someone to talk to in an emergency.

Remember, being proactive about your physical safety doesn’t just mean reacting when things go wrong—it’s about being prepared and having the tools to handle unexpected situations.

Now there is no one who could catch up with us.

There is something you can do.
Strong community connections are key to addressing this crisis. When neighbors and local groups unite, they create a support network that can identify and help those at risk. Small acts—checking in, sharing resources, offering support—make a real difference. These connections don’t just help in emergencies; they build resilience and prevent addiction from taking root.
