However, it can be useful to think of steps you might take to keep yourself and loved ones safe. This process is called safety planning. Though, you can follow the guide below about to craft a safety plan on your own, it is often helpful to work with an advocate here at ATVP to create a more personalized safety plan.

Supporting Friends or Loved Ones Experiencing Stalking:
Most victims of stalking talk to a friend, family member, or someone else they know and trust about the situation before pursuing any sort of professional or legal help. If a stalking victim talks to you, your response makes a huge difference in if they feel validated and/or seek help.
