Safety Tip 4: Before You Go Out


Move toward crowds, open businesses, or well-lit areas.
Being around other people or inside a public space can offer a sense of safety and visibility. These areas often have staff, cameras, or people who can step in if needed. Even small steps—like crossing the street or entering a store—can help you regain a feeling of control.

Call emergency services right away.
If you feel like you’re in immediate danger or something serious is happening, contacting emergency services can connect you with trained responders quickly. You never need to second-guess whether your concern is “big enough” to make the call. Your safety is important, and help is available.

Do not hesitate to ask someone for help.
Reaching out to someone nearby—a worker, a neighbor, or a passerby—can provide quick assistance or support. Most people are willing to help when they know someone needs it. Even a simple, direct request like “Can you stay with me for a moment?” can make a difference.
