Arrive Together – Before You Go Out

• Choose a friend or group of friends to go with.
• Make a plan for where you’re going and who you’re meeting.
• Decide how everyone will get home. Have a backup plan in case of emergency.
• Choose a code word or signal to let each other know when something isn’t right.
• Let a trusted person know where you will be.
• Charge your phone.

Leave Together – When the Party is Over

• Never leave a member of your group behind. Remember: No “buddy” left behind.
• Don’t leave anyone in your group in a vulnerable position at the end of the night when predators may be on the prowl.
• Beware of people offering rides or promising to help get people home. Use licensed and labeled transportation options so there is accountability.
• Check in to make sure everyone got home safe. If you can’t reach one of your group members, get help.
• If someone at the party/bar/club behaved in a way that made you or others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, talk about it. Support others who bring up these issues.
