"This may have saved my life, I never thought of putting together a safety plan before”

"It wasnt until I was going through all of the questions that I realized just how bad things really are. Sometimes your vision and mind become clouded just to make it through the day and cope"

"myPlan gave a lot of really, like solid concrete, advice as to what to do for a friend, people don’t know what to say and how to say it."

Safety Notes:
The safest way to use myPlan is on a device your partner doesn’t have access to. Abusers often monitor their partner’s device activity. Having an app about relationship abuse could put you at risk. If you are worried about someone discovering the app, delete it when you are done with it, but know it’s not always possible to delete completely from your purchase history. myPlan is also available by web browser if you don’t want to download it (www.myplanapp.org)
myPlan is not meant for use if you are in immediate danger – call 911.
myPlan is not meant to replace real live trained domestic violence advocates and service providers. We know most people experiencing abuse never access formal services. myPlan expands access to personalized safety information with the ease of access and privacy of a device, but we encourage all users to reach out to a professional.
