Are you seeing red flags in your relationship with a partner or ex? Do you have a friend or family member whose relationship worries you? You are not alone. myPlan can help you see things more clearly, make decisions about safety, and find resources.
myPlan:
Anonymous to use
Protected with a secure PIN code
Inclusive of all genders
Provides questions, assessments, and quizzes to learn about the health and safety of a relationship; answers personalize myPlan to your situation
Includes the Danger Assessment, a research-tested risk assessment used by professionals for over 25 years
Offers customized strategies for safety planning, online privacy, reaching out for support, emotional and physical health, and protecting children. For friends and family, strategies include how to talk to your loved one, supporting their safety and well-being, and taking care of yourself.
Provides resources for domestic violence (DV), mental and physical health, legal, parenting, and culturally specific services. Enter a zip code to find your local DV agencies, provided by the National Domestic Violence Hotline, or connect to a hotline advocate directly by phone, text, or chat.
myPlan is backed by Johns Hopkins University research, done with thousands of people experiencing partner abuse. A few things users say about myPlan:
"This may have saved my life, I never thought of putting together a safety plan before”
"It wasn't 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 features:
No account set up required, myPlan use is completely anonymous
Changeable icon to hide the app on your home screen
Set your own secure PIN code to keep your information private
“Dummy code” option will hide the contents of the app in case you are forced to enter a PIN by someone
Quick exit button on every page
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.
