The It's Not OK campaign has produced resources to encourage everyone to look out for people they know and think about actions they can take to help keep celebrations and holidays safe and free from violence. The resources include:

Messages and tips that can be used in news media, on a website, in publications and on Facebook. 

Images which promote helping behaviour, with the following messages: Find out how to help,  Make these holidays safe for children you know,  Help is the best gift of all and Everyone should feel safe at home. The It's Not OK website also includes tips about how to help.

The It's Not OK Campaign can also provide true stories about surviving family violence, helping a child and helping a perpetrator. These can be used to provide to news media, as excerpts in media releases, on Facebook pages, websites or any other avenue. The authors are also available to be interviewed. For more information, contact the It's Not OK Campaign. Stories and tips on giving effective help have also been put out through the media.

Crimestoppers has produced posters encouraging people to call them if they become aware of family violence happening. Calls can be made anonymously. People are encouraged to display these on their websites: they are available as a .jpg or PDF.
