SafetyNet: National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV)

Before downloading the latest apps that promise safety for survivors, review Technology Resources for Survivors on the NNEDV App Safety Center. These national safety and technology experts have reviewed benefits and challenges of common apps. A survivor will be interested in reading these reviews prior to downloading since they know their circumstances better than anyone. Following a review, the survivor can make an informed decision about what may work best for them. Before exploring this webpage, it is best to ask the survivor if they have any suspicions that they are being monitored via their cell phone. If they do, it is recommended that they use a safer computer or cell phone to review any resources related to intimate partner violence and stalking.

Futures Without Violence Domestic Violence Quality Assessment/Quality Improvement Tool for Clinics, Hospitals and other Health Systems

Futures Without Violence Domestic Violence Quality Assessment/Quality Improvement Tool for Clinics, Hospitals and other Health Systems: The Domestic Violence (DV) Quality Assessment Tool was developed in 2016 by Futures Without Violence and Dr. Elizabeth Miller, University of Pittsburgh. It is intended to provide health care facilities some guiding questions to assess quality of care related to the promotion of healthy relationships and intervention related to DV within health care delivery. The information may be used as a benchmark for each program to engage in ongoing quality improvement efforts. Complete the tool as honestly and completely as you can—there are no right or wrong answers, and your clinic/hospital shouldn’t be penalized for identifying areas for improvement. For questions that you respond yes to, it may be helpful to attach and review corresponding forms, policy, tools, etc.
