When counseling an expectant mother who is experiencing domestic abuse, what would be examples of important tools to discuss with the abused client?

What will be an ideal response?


Counselors can work with pregnant mothers to develop a plan for leaving that includes identifying a safe place to go, making a list of items to take, obtaining a prepaid cellular phone, getting a court order of protection, creating a code word for friends and family when in danger, obtaining an extra set of car keys, keeping evidence of abuse, and identifying financial supports. Of course, mental and emotional needs will also need to be addressed in counseling regardless of whether or not the mother leaves the abusive environment.
