About this app

Developer Description

Cope with challenges & improve well-being after military sexual trauma (MST)

Beyond MST is a free, secure, trauma-sensitive mobile app that was created specifically to support the health and well-being of survivors of sexual assault or harassment during military service, also called military sexual trauma (MST). The app has over 30 specialized tools and other features to help those who use it cope with challenges, manage symptoms, improve their quality of life and find hope. Users can also take brief assessments in the app, set self-care goals, track recovery progress, and learn more about MST and common concerns. You can use the app on your own or as a companion to formal treatment, and it may be helpful to survivors of other types of unwanted sexual experiences, too. The app keeps your information private; no account is needed, and any personal information entered in the app is not shared with anyone, including the VA. You can set a PIN lock for extra privacy. You are not alone: the Beyond MST app can help.

Beyond MST was made by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Mobile Mental Health team at the National Center for PTSD, Dissemination and Training Division in collaboration with the National Center for PTSD, Women’s Health Sciences Division and the national VA MST Support Team.

What an awesome app! Very helpful. 5 years of terror started 57 years ago. I shoved it down as much as I could. Ashamed, defeated, alone it affected every aspect of my life. Nobody should live that way. This app brings a level of peace I wish I had many years ago. I'm glad I have it now. Great job people! Thank you!

App works but a lot of unuseful things on the site.

Doesn't have option of support by a male voice. Not all of us feel safer with a woman's voice. I wish there was an option to change the voice that guides the exercises. I brace with a woman's voice.

Not a fan of app directed tools for mental health needs.. gave it try for functionality.. reading words on a phone screen isn't enticing for me when it comes to addressing or providing resources for mental health.. it takes away the human element of helping others and addressing client care needs...

I was sexually assaulted at gun point on Fort Sill, Ok in 1990 but never received any treatment or disability. I am sure it is because of the racial bias that is persistent in the military now and then. The VA has denied 12 mst claims making up new rules that should not apply to MST per the order description.
