Helpline Available to D93 Community for Safety, Bullying or Crisis Needs | |
|
Safe School Helpline is a safety and tip reporting service that enables students, parents or staff members to submit safety and bullying concerns anonymously via website, text, app or phone call as described in the graphic above.
The helpline also offers a counseling and crisis call center that features trained counselors available 24/7/365 for individuals seeking assistance in coping with thoughts of self harm, harming others, depression, or feelings of loneliness and loss.
While all schools have shared this resource with students, I ask that parents take a moment to review it with their children as a great option for any of the circumstances described above.
You can find it linked directly here, and it's always available on CCSD93's district and school home webpages by scrolling down to the CCSD93 Information section. We encourage those who use it to report specific incidents to be as thorough as possible in describing concerns so we can assist to the greatest extent possible.
