      The massive pandemic disruptions may have prematurely aged teenagers’ brains by three to four years in its first months, in the same way severe trauma can change children’s brain development, according to one long-term neurological study.

      Normalize Asking For Help

      Students come to school with much more than the capacity to learn. Their backpacks are full of challenges we can’t see. We need to normalize asking for Help.

       

      • Basic Needs Insecurities (Food/Shelter/Clothing)
      • Mental Health stressors
      • Suicidal Ideation
      • Abusive households

      Three Ways to Get Help

      3 phones help me june 2023

      ​Delivered on a highly configurable mobile platform, HELPme provides support and resources to students, families, and staff using a healing-centered interface. The HELPme app trains all school users on the importance of asking for help, recognizing asking for help as a critical life skill, and providing a safe way to practice asking for and receiving help from one’s first interaction with the school. 

      HELPme Provides 3 Ways to HELP based on the user’s level of comfort.
       
      1. Self-Help: Get Resources
      2. Help from a Trained Crisis Counselor: Crisis Text Line
      3. Help from your School or Community: Get Help

      Self Help: Preloaded Support Resources

      ​Each HELPme implementation comes preloaded with links to crisis helplines and resources in one easy-to-access place. Resources are configurable to meet your specific use-case and can be localized and replaced with your own resources. Resources can take the form of phone numbers, text numbers or URLs.

      Help from a Trained Crisis Counselor: Crisis Text Line

      ​​Connect directly to trained crisis counselors from the HELPme app. Crisis Text Line provides free, 24/7, high-quality anonymous text-based mental health support and crisis intervention volunteers to support people in their moments of need.

      Help from Your School or Community: Direct Connection to Assistance

      ​Using Get Help, students, parents, and staff can directly connect with school and local-based resources and ask for assistance using STOPit's fully configurable state-of-the-art reporting system. Whether it is for everyday needs such as food, transportation, clothing, shelter, medical, or mental health needs such as bullying, anxiety, or domestic violence, help is only a click away.

      What Students Are Saying

      Students at every grade level maintain depression, stress, and anxiety is the most common barrier to learning.
