Please Note:

The "Am I at Risk?" questionnaire within Bright Sky aims to offer users insights into potential signs of abuse within their relationship. Conversely, in the "Family or Friend at Risk?" questionnaire, it assesses a friend or family member's relationship. Nonetheless, this should not serve as the sole determinant of any relationship's well-being. If uncertain, we strongly advise contacting a domestic violence program or exploring ways to assist someone you know through Bright Sky US.

Exercise caution regarding personal safety when using Bright Sky – utilize this app only if you feel secure doing so.
