Danger Assessment Tools

Danger assessments are powerful tools for understanding how risky an interpersonal violence situation can be. They can be used both by people directly involved in a domestic violence situation and by their friends and loved ones. myPlan is a free, safe, anonymous app that can be installed on mobile devices or a computer. In the app, the user will answer questions about the situation(s) they are concerned about, learn about about risk levels, and build a safety plan based on their own needs and priorities. myPlan also includes additional reading materials, support resources, and robust safety and privacy features to protect users. Watch the video below to learn more about how myPlan can help college students.
