About Be there

Do you want to know what to say or how to ‘be there’ for a loved one, a friend or even a stranger who is in an unhealthy, toxic or abusive relationship?

Be there is a free app that gives you direct access to tools that empower, educate & support you to help someone who is experiencing domestic or family violence.

Our mission is to help eliminate domestic and family violence in whatever form it takes by supporting you, the bystander, to make what you’re witnessing your business and empower you to be someone who does something.

We give you access to tools that can validate any abusive behaviour you may see, hear or experience and help you navigate a safe way to support someone without making the situation worse or putting either of you in danger.

If we are to eliminate violence in our community, it’s up to all of us to act. With Be there, you can:

- Read, save and share articles that help you learn and understand the signs of coercive control.
- Get recommended content and activities with built-it reminders.
- Save notes with the journaling feature to remember things you see, hear and feel.
- PIN protection ensures it all remains private and confidential.

This app labeled me 'an effective bystander'. As a hetero male victim of domestic violence who answered the survey accurately, I find this label distasteful.

The questions are incredibly eye-opening. If all you do with the app is read through them, I think you'll learn something! This is such an important issue that needs to be tackled & any tool that starts a healthy conversation about it is awesome. The content needs work though. The articles are long and hard to read at times. It's 2021 - why can't we use they/them? Men suffer abuse too & not all women identify as "she" - opening our language opens minds!

Thanks to Griffith University for developing this important resource. Its a great tool to help a concerned person to move from bystander to taking appropriate action.
