Abuse Using Technology

Updated: March 15, 2017

How can I plan for my safety if I am the victim of technology abuse?

Tech-facilitated abuse and stalking can feel overwhelming. But you do not have to be a “techie” to think through ways to increase your safety and privacy. When you make a plan for your safety, this can include planning for your tech safety in addition to your physical safety.

See our Safety Planning page to learn more about ways to increase your safety. Your local domestic violence program can help you create a safety plan and provide other help as well. You can also find tech safety planning tips and suggestions on Safety Net’s website.
