O Outline

T Take Note

Record what your provider said, what was ordered, and what happens next so nothing falls through.

You deserve care, protection, and hope — no matter what you’re facing.

Use this Violet Sheet to prepare for the unexpected, advocate for compassionate care, and make sure your needs are never overlooked. Whether you’re facing a personal crisis or supporting a loved one, this resource centers Black women’s voices, dignity, and safety at every step.
