The short version, in full.

Leave Early is a free educational site about everyday personal safety: awareness, boundaries, planning, supporting people you care about, digital safety, travel, and emergency readiness.

Everything here is general education for a general audience. Nothing on this site is tailored to your situation, your location, or your risks.

Leave Early isn't emergency, legal, medical, or mental-health advice, and it doesn't replace emergency services, police, local authorities, individualized safety planning, clinical care, or specialized support for domestic violence, stalking, sexual violence, human trafficking, or crisis situations.

If you're in immediate danger, call your local emergency number now. In Canada, that's 911.

We don't promise safety, prevention, or any specific outcome. Safety habits can create options and buy time. They can't create immunity, and no tactic works every time, for every person, in every situation.

If you were harmed, manipulated, unable to leave, or unable to act the way you wish you had, that isn't your fault. Violence is always the responsibility of the person who chooses violence.

You decide what to use, what to skip, and what fits your life. Leave Early isn't responsible for decisions you make or don't make, and it doesn't supervise, monitor, or respond to anything you do with the tools here.

The plan builders, checklists, and script decks are practical aids, not professional assessments. The plans you create are stored in your own browser, on your own device.

Anything you download or print is yours to keep, adapt, and share for non-commercial purposes. Please don't republish our content as your own, sell it, or present it as professional advice.

We link to official government, emergency, and community resources. Those sites aren't ours and we don't control them — their content, availability, and accuracy are their responsibility. If you spot a link or phone number that's wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.

Subscribing is optional and you can unsubscribe from any edition. We won't sell, rent, or trade your email address.

The contact form isn't a monitored crisis channel and isn't reviewed around the clock. Don't send confidential or sensitive information through it.

Leave Early may work with sponsors, funders, and partners. Support doesn't buy control over our guidance, resource recommendations, or emergency content, and it never appears inside sensitive or crisis-related material.

We'll update these terms as the site grows, and we'll change the date at the top when we do. Continued use means you're working from the current version.
