A SAFER ONLINE SPACE
An extra layer of protection when you need it
We often search the Internet when we’re looking for answers. Some of those searches happen during difficult moments — when we’re overwhelmed, struggling to cope, or when we feel we have no one to turn to.
BrowserShield is there for those moments. It works silently on your personal laptop or desktop computer, responding only when it identifies online searches associated with suicide, self-harm and other topics that may indicate you’re experiencing a difficult or vulnerable moment.
It is there to protect you, give you hope and guide you to the support you need.
