In honor of Mental Health Awareness month, here is a very cool app to help those folks suffering from Domestic Violence.  They probably do not have access to a smart phone. Perhaps, they could get an Ipad for their birthday?  Or perhaps they could download this app on a notepad they have checked out from school or work.  This app looks like a normal news app.

Everyone needs to be aware of current events, right?!

But this app is very special.  Its called the ASPIRE app.  Dr. Phil’s wife Robin created it to help victims of Domestic Violence.  PLEASE, watch this video.  It tells you all the neat features of the app.  It can record a message for your trusted contacts to gain help if an abuser is getting violent.  Touching a certain button on the app will allow you to call for help from these trusted contacts if you need it.  Plus, as soon as you press the button three times, a GPS system begins tracking the location of the device (or you if the phone/Ipad/or notepad).  It will ALSO begin recording every sound in the room you are in.  If the police must show up, you’ll have PROOF that you were being assaulted (physically, verbally, emotionally etc…)  Pretty cool huh!?
