The New York Times called What to Do When Love Turns Violent, "possibly the best single resource." Dr. Robert McAfee, past president of the American Medical Association said, "This may be the most important book of your life." The author appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, which produced and aired a special short film about safety planning based on the book. What to Do When Love Turns Violent empowers you to find help and take back your life. Here is everything you need to know to make the right choices. The first part spells out an action plan to get out of danger and find immediate help: making a protective order work; calling the police; finding safe shelter; seeking medical attention; getting financial assistance. Part 2 details how to stay safe and regain control over your life: preparing for safety at home and on the job; protecting your children; rebuilding your life. Includes an extensive list of national and community organizations where you can find help.
