myPlan Safety App

I'm a full time domestic violence advocate and I endorse this tool for clients/survivors. I tried it both as if I was the victim and as if I was looking for help for a friend and I felt both assessments were comprehensive and thought provoking. My only critique is that during the risk assessment ("is my relationship dangerous") I feel there should be explicit questioning about hx of DV injuries and hospitalizations. But overall I think it's an excellent resource.

I downloaded this app to see if it was what I needed to help a friend. It has the choice to evaluate the situation and safety plan for a friend or family members, as well as yourself. I am very impressed with the tools it has to help you evaluate your situation and begin safety planning. It is not a replacement for a domestic violence counselor but it's very helpful.

I downloaded the app because I’m the one be domestically abused. I was hoping the app would show me that it’s real but when I got on and did the basics survey it’s asking questions about the abuser in the sense that their the one that show be on the app. It’s like it’s trying to get me to fill out everything for them and help them but that’s not what the app showed to do on the app store. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing that the app does that, it’s good to help other with that situation it’s just it keeps like there’s some missing information on the app store page, either that or the app needs clearer instructions. I could use it into a 3rd person way but honestly i would rather not and just find another app. I could’ve just messed up the whole basics thing but I didn’t really see anything about get my own help
