Which of the following items is NOT typically part of a TDV safety plan?

• A. Code words
• B. Emergency contacts
• C. Safe places
• D. Genetic testing results

Answer: (D)

A TDV safety plan centers on practical steps and resources that help a teen stay safe and access support. Elements like code words allow discreet signaling when it's not safe to speak aloud, so trusted adults or friends know when to intervene. Emergency contacts provide quick access to people who can help—parents, guardians, school staff, or hotlines—so help is reachable fast. Safe places are predetermined locations the teen can go to for immediate safety, such as a trusted friend's home, a relative, a school counselor, or a community shelter.

Genetic testing results don’t fit into safety planning because they don’t provide actionable safety steps or quick access to support. They are medical information, not resources or strategies for staying safe or escaping danger, and including them would not help reduce risk or facilitate help-seeking.
