Episode 55: A Growing Lifeline to Real-World Safety

The MyPlan app began as a randomized trial before smartphones even existed, and has evolved into a fully realized tech tool that reaches more than 12,000 users a year. That’s far beyond the capacity of any single shelter or hotline.   Under the leadership of Dr. Nancy Glass, MyPlan has rigorous data showing reductions in reproductive coercion, improvements in mental health, and safer decision-making. Now the team is focused on the next frontier: dissemination. Through UX redesign, digital marketing, global partnerships, and a companion tool for teens, MyPlan is bridging a critical gap for the many survivors who never seek traditional services.
