- Contains assessments, activities, topics, and links to resources and services in all provinces/territories to help women improve their safety, health, and well-being
- Offers six areas to explore: Safety, Basic Needs, Health and Well-Being, Connecting Safely, Claiming Your Power, and Family. Begin anywhere and explore what interests you.
- Allows users to 'Save' activities, topics, and resources to make them easier to find.

Safe Use:

- When logged in, use the 'Exit' button to quickly replace the app with a neutral webpage that will open in your device's default browser.
- Enter '1234' in the password field on the login screen to quickly navigate away from the app. This functions the same way as the "Exit" button.
- Be aware that your abusive partner may monitor your use of this app using spyware, cloud access or by accessing your phone, tablet or computer.
- When using the app, please use a safe device that you alone can access and that is password protected. You may also decide not to use the app.

The iHEAL app was developed, with support from the Public Health Agency of Canada, by researchers from Western University, University of British Columbia and the University of New Brunswick.
