Danger assessments can make you aware of the level of danger you have of being physically harmed by your partner. If you are scared of your partner or feel unsafe at home, danger assessments can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to separate from your partner.
Before completing a danger assessment it is important to understand that they include questions about violence, threats, and coercion, which can be triggering and upsetting to read about.
If you think completing a danger assessment will support your journey, consider reaching out to someone you trust to be there with you. Also consider contacting a local advocate who can offer emotional support and walk you through each of the questions.
