The HELPme app is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our goal with HELPme is to:
- Decrease the stigma surrounding mental health and shame of asking for help.
- Support the well-being and educational success for ALL students & staff.
- Remove barriers to learning.
- Improve school climate, student connectedness, parent & community engagement.
- Create a culture of helping ourselves AND helping others.
- Encourage positive behaviors and relationships.
HELPme is a tool that works by empowering students, parents, and staff to ask for and receive the help they need with dignity and privacy. All users will have access to the HELPme mobile app, which has three main features:
- GET RESOURCES:
If you or your family need assistance with food, shelter, transportation, or domestic violence – enter your zip code in the Get Resources section of the app, and you will be provided with links to local resources who can help you. There is also a video library of wellness resources, including topics such as Stress & Anxiety, Bullying, Suicide Prevention, and Anger Management.
- CRISIS TEXT LINE:
If you are experiencing a painful emotion, click the Crisis Text Line button, and you will be connected to a crisis counselor. The counselor will introduce themselves and invite you to share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Everything is confidential and you never have to share anything you don’t want to. The counselor will help you sort through your feelings until you are feeling calm and safe.
- ASK FOR HELP:
Our designated administrators will have access to HELPme’s backend incident management system to manage and track requests. That system may also be used to assign requests to other individuals.
With questions, please reach out to Mr. Ryan Lewis or Dr. Geri Perez.
The student training video can be accessed here.
