Practical Support

Practical checklists to help you prepare, protect and respond.

Harbour Lights Community has developed practical checklists to help women prepare, protect themselves and their children, and work through the steps that can follow abuse and separation.

Each checklist focuses on one area at a time, helping you gather what you need, plan ahead, document important information and decide what to do next.

Some checklists are designed for before leaving; others are for after separation. Together, they break complex situations into clearer, more manageable steps.

Checklists

Practical support across six areas of abuse, with checklists for different stages of your journey.

Let’s Work Together
