We also provide support services for family \t\t      and loved ones of victims of domestic and sexual violence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAFETY PLAN: <\/strong> If  you are experiencing violence \t\t      or threatening behavior from a partner, spouse, ex-partner or  ex-spouse, regardless of whether that person lives with you or not,  there are \t\t      steps you can take to plan for your safety and for the safety of  your \t\t      children. This is called safety planning and we can help you  make one. \t\t      Remember that keeping safe does not always mean leaving your  home. In \t\t      fact, leaving your home without planning can be a very dangerous  thing \t\t      to do. Here are some important things to remember when keeping  safe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Phone HOPE Center at\u00a0 800-607-2330.<\/strong> It                 is better to speak with\u00a0a real person\u00a0about your immediate                 situation rather than using\u00a0e-mail. Trained advocates are                 available 24 hours a day to help you assess your safety, create                 a safety plan, decide whether you need to leave your                 home and obtain information about shelter and counseling services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Aware. <\/strong>All internet communication is \t\t        traceable.
