myPlan is a free app offered in English and Spanish to help with safety decisions if you, or someone you care about, may be experiencing abuse in an intimate relationship. It’s private, secure, personalized, & backed by research with domestic violence survivors involved every step of the way.
Empowering decisions for a safe path forward
Are you seeing red flags in a relationship with a current partner? Do you have a toxic ex? Do you have a friend, co-worker, or family member whose relationship worries you? You are not alone.
It’s personalized for your situation
Everyone deserves to be safe in their intimate relationships.
We deeply understand the many barriers those experiencing abuse face, and we know every circumstance and situation is unique. myPlan provides anonymous questions about you and the relationship, and your answers will customize myPlan to your situation.
Your safety is our greatest concern
Built-in safety features include:
Completely anonymous to use - no account set up required
Set your own secure PIN code to keep info private
“Dummy code” hides contents of the app if forced to log in
Changeable icon to hide the app on your home screen
Be aware: Abusive people often monitor their partner’s device activity. Having an app about relationship abuse on your device or in your browser history could put you at risk. The safest way to use is on a device that an abusive partner does not have access to.

Develop a Plan
A tech-based resource for the advocate & provider toolbox
An app will never replace the expertise of a real live professional. And it isn’t a safe or accessible resource for everyone. myPlan is designed to expand access to individualized safety information and to encourage the majority of survivors who never seek services to reach out for help. Advocates, health care providers, or other service providers can also add myPlan to their toolbox of existing resources.
Advocates
Advocates and service providers can use myPlan with a client to help facilitate a discussion about their level of danger and their priorities when making difficult safety decisions, or as a referral option for clients you only briefly engage with.
Providers
Relationship violence directly affects a person’s health and well-being. Healthcare and mental health providers can introduce myPlan during a survivor’s health or support visit to use on their own, or use as a guide to walk through the assessment and safety planning process together with patients/clients.
