The Smart Phone App that Could Save Your Life

  Planning a safe exit from an abusive relationship is a necessary and important step before leaving your partner. Robin McGraw, along with her foundation, When Georgia Smiled: The Robin McGraw Revelation Foundation, helped develop the Aspire News app — a free app that uses technology to assist women in abusive situations.   The Aspire News app was recognized on Capitol Hill by the National Health Collaborative on Violence and Abuse as one of the two apps in 2014 most effective in the fight to end domestic violence. The app has been downloaded more than 300,000 times in countries around the world.   Watch the video above to learn more about how the Aspire News app works — and how it can save lives at the push of a button.
