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, etc.)
- Mental Health stressors
- Suicidal Ideation
- Abusive households
- Victims of bullying
HELPme Provides
- Private Access to Essential Resources: From necessities like food and shelter to clothing and beyond, HELPme ensures individuals can access vital resources.
- Connection to Support: Whether it’s school, community, or governmental resources, HELPme provides convenient access to a network of support services and helplines, both local and beyond.
- Culture of Support: We recognize that asking for help is a fundamental life skill. HELPme fosters a culture where asking for assistance is not only accepted, but encouraged.
