Staying Safe While Sheltering in Place: A Lifeline for Victims Trapped at Home
When home is not a safe place, where can you turn—especially during a crisis like a pandemic lockdown? In this vital and accessible guide, licensed mental health professionals Melissa Adams, LCSW, LIMHP, and Shari Schnuelle, LIMHP, LPC, offer real-life insights into what it’s like to be quarantined with an abuser. With compassion and clarity, they share practical, actionable strategies to protect yourself and your children from further harm—even when escape isn’t an option.

Originally created to support survivors during COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders, this book remains urgently relevant for anyone currently living in an abusive or high-conflict household. With a powerful introduction by trauma survivor Geri Henderson, Ph.D., Surviving Domestic Abuse While Sheltering in Place is a must-read resource for those seeking immediate help, hope, and a path forward.
