In light of reports globally of the impact of COVID-19 stay-at-home mandates on abusive relationships, our team has taken on the information space of domestic abuse and violence for our culminating Capstone project. Those experiencing violence and abuse in close quarters no longer have easy access to traditional resources and support services. To help alleviate this information access gap, our team has created and developed a iOS mobile app called Solace, which, equipped with robust cloaking mechanisms, acts as a comprehensive toolkit, enabling survivors to securely access reputable resources and communicate with advocates and members of their support networks.
