HelpME by STOPit Solutions
Our school has enrolled with HELPme, by STOP it Solutions. HELPme is a technology platform to assist our school community with asking for and privately accessing a wide variety of help and resources.
The HELPme app works by empowering students, parents, and staff to confidentially access help by way of three main features:
-
GET HELP can be used to anonymously request help from local school contacts, including Messenger, which allows anonymous two-way communication with school contacts and help requesters.
-
CRISIS TEXT LINE can be accessed directly from the app to text with non-local trained crisis counselors
-
GET RESOURCES can be used to search community, local, state, and federal resources and helplines
Here is a short video about the HELPme resource.
Use one of the QR codes below to download the HELPme app.
You can report a concern and/or access help by way of the HELPme app or web directory.
