Lesson Overview

10.67 – Creating Safety Signals or Code Words With Trusted People: Code words create quiet communication when speaking openly is dangerous. Choose simple phrases that sound casual but carry meaning only you and your trusted circle know. Examples like “I forgot the red folder” could mean “call for help.” Practice using these phrases in texts or calls to build fluidity under stress. Ensure each safe person knows exactly what to do when they hear it—whether to call 911, drive over, or check in later. Code words protect victims of domestic violence, stalking, or emotional manipulation when privacy is limited. Post non-obvious reminders in your home or phone to recall phrasing without alerting others. Communication tools like these turn fear into strategy. When people around you know how to respond instantly, your safety network moves like a team. Empowerment doesn’t always speak loudly—it plans quietly, precisely, and effectively so help arrives before harm does.
