Safety Planning:   Three Easy Safety Plans.

These Easy Safety Plans are useful for all victims, but especially for those who have trouble reading or use English as their second language.  It provides step-by-step instructions for implementing a safety plan regardless of whether the victim is living with the abuser, leaving the abuser, or has already left.    We want to thank the Outer South Peninsula Integrated Family Violence Partnership, Melbourne, Australia, for allowing us to use and modify their original safety plan to accommodate our USA audience.

1) Easy English Safety Plan USA – All information and phone numbers reflect organizations in the USA
2) Easy Safety Plan Australia – All information pertinent to Australia
3) Easy Spanish Safety Plan USA,  – All USA information translated into Spanish

Newly configured Prayer Requests Page
With ACFJ being two years old last month the comments on our Prayer Requests has grown to almost 300 requests and it continues to grow.  To help navigate this page we have restructured it by dividing the 300 requests by year (Prayer Requests 2012, Prayer Requests 2013) with the current year (2014) continuing in the comment section of the page as usual.

Also, we have added a new element to the page.  When you go to the new Prayer Requests [This link is broken. Editors.] page you will see a link to the new Light Bulb Moments [This link has been edited to reflect it’s new name and location. Editors.] page where you will find testimonies of how God has shown victims that it was His will for them to leave their abusive marriages.

We are putting a link to the Light Bulb Moments page on the Insights tab on the top menu. [This paragraph was edited to reflect the new name and menu format. Editors.]
