Safety Plan AI

https://safety.freshskyai.com/

We help with the planning between calls — building out the technology-safety steps (separate phone, password resets, location-sharing audit), legal protective-order strategy in your state, immigration relief options (VAWA, U-visa, T-visa) if applicable. We're not a substitute for a human advocate; we're the worksheet you can do at 2am.

When we're right:

You're past the immediate crisis and need to plan the next 30 days — and you can't sleep until you have a plan written down.
