BAMAVL is using this app to help the community stay connected to not only BAMAVL and our programs but to other resources and programs in our community. Safe plus more is an easy convenient way to have all the resources you need on your phone. It allows us to check in with our clients/community by sending notifications, newsletters, educational tools, etc.ā€¦ all within one place in the app. It allows app users to feel empowered to seek help without having to put in the work of searching aimlessly online. i.e., Are you struggling with mental health? Go on the app search the topic ā€œmental healthā€ the app shows resources from treatment, life coaching, to self-help tools to choose from. You decide on what kind of support you need and go from there. Received a DWI and donā€™t know what to do? Go to the app search ā€œDWIā€ and you will find DWI Lawyers, DWI Providers, laws, and more. BAMAVL will add to the app and update when necessary.
