What are your safety concerns?

Sometimes people respond to family conflict violently. If you do not feel safe, prioritize your safety and leave the home. If you have immediate concerns for the safety of other people in the home, contact the police after you leave.

There is no immediate danger, but you are concerned about the safety of mom, baby or someone else who is in the home. Depending on who is in the home, and what the issue is, you will want to learn more about the situation, use emotion-focused reflections and validation to reduce distress, consider resources and referrals, and consider teaching Positive Partner Communication.

Responding is a low priority, consider using emotion-focused reflections and validation to reduce distress. Normalize how stress can increase family conflict.
