Episode 19: myPlan: Helping Victims of Domestic Violence Make Safety Decisions

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Our guest is Dr. Nancy Glass, an intimate partner violence researcher who serves as Independence Chair in Nursing Education at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.

Dr. Glass is developer of the myPlan app, a free app to help with safety decisions if you, or someone you care about, is experiencing abuse in their intimate relationships. It’s private, secure, personalized, and backed by research.

Dr. Glass discusses the newest version of the app that can help link victims of domestic violence to resources, information, and personalized safety plans.
