“My name is Justin; I am 20 years old and a full-time college student. Also, I am a Volunteer Firefighter with the Mountjoy Brigade. Always seeking to help people in any way I can. In the future I am hoping to be a Police Officer. I like the outdoors, fishing hunting, hanging out with friends and family. VCARS is something that I am proud to be a part of.” -Justin-

A personal safety plan is a way of helping you to protect yourself and your children. It helps you plan in advance for the possibility of future violence and abuse. It also helps you to think about how you can increase your safety either within the relationship, or if you decide to leave.
