MySchoolSafe Student Safety & Wellness Platform

Empowering Schools with MySchoolSafe

Your Integrated Safety Net

MySchoolSafe is a comprehensive Student Safety and Wellness Platform designed to tackle the three critical issues that schools and teens grapple with today: social media/cyberbullying, suicide/self-harm, and shooting/mass violence.

Our platform stands out by integrating essential services, such as social media monitoring, an Anonymous Tip Line, and a Suicide/Crisis Hotline, into one seamless interface. We've designed MySchoolSafe to be a proactive channel that listens for and acts upon the early warning signs often communicated by students in distress. According to a report by the US Secret Service, approximately 73% of students who commit or attempt self or mass violence share their intentions with friends or on social media. This startling statistic underlines the need for vigilant and responsive systems like ours.

One of the unique aspects of MySchoolSafe is its architecture, which involves parents and assigns them an active role in their children's safety. At the same time, schools provide support and facilitate access to the platform. This collaborative approach is crucial in creating a robust student safety net.

Social Media Monitoring

By keeping an eye on students' social media profiles, we can encourage responsible online behavior and help keep them safe from harmful posts. Additionally, monitoring social media can be an effective tool for identifying early warning signs of self-harm or violent behavior, allowing for timely intervention and support. Our social media monitoring tool only looks at publicly available posts and we do not require any social media passwords. We do not look at accounts that are private or private posts.

Integrated Helpline

SocialTrase has integrated 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline into our platform. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across the United States. The Lifeline is comprised of a national network of over 200 local crisis centers, combining custom local care and resources with national standards and best practices. We do not track individual use of the helpline, but provide aggregate numbers across the school, district and county to benchmark and allocate necessary resources.

Anonymous Reporting

It's heartbreaking to think that some students might be struggling with thoughts of violence or self-harm. That's why it's important to create a safe and supportive environment where students feel comfortable sharing their concerns. By instituting an anonymous reporting system, we can help ensure that those who might not feel comfortable speaking up can still provide valuable information that could ultimately save lives.

MySchoolSafe - Mission Statement

At MySchoolSafe, we are dedicated to empowering educational communities with a comprehensive safety and wellness platform that prioritizes the well-being of every student. Our mission is to provide schools with proactive, multifaceted tools designed to safeguard against the complexities of modern-day threats. By seamlessly integrating social media monitoring, an anonymous tip line, and a crisis helpline, we strive to create a vigilant environment where the silent cries for help are heard and addressed.

We recognize the urgent need for a solution that not only protects but also listens and responds to the concerns of students navigating through the challenges of social media, cyberbullying, mental health crises, and potential acts of violence. Our commitment lies in fostering a secure, responsive, supportive space for students to learn and grow.

In collaboration with educators, parents, and mental health professionals, MySchoolSafe is dedicated to mitigating risks by enabling early intervention and facilitating open, anonymous communication channels. Together, we aim to build a culture of awareness, prevention, and action, where student safety and mental wellness are not just an aspiration but a tangible reality. We are here to ensure that no cry for help goes unheard, no concern goes unaddressed, and that every school can be a sanctuary of safety and positive well-being.

Ultimately, MySchoolSafe seeks to set a new standard for student safety and wellness, where our integrated approach to monitoring, reporting, and crisis intervention is a fundamental pillar of educational systems worldwide. We look forward to a day when students' holistic safety and well-being are not just priorities but assured rights within the education system.

Our vision is safe and emotionally supportive schools where digital and physical environments are vigilantly monitored. Students can express themselves, explore their identities and pursue education without fear of bullying, violence or mental health crises.

Customized Dashboards

MySchoolSafe also has five different dashboards for students, parents, schools, districts, and counties to access specific layers of information and control. Distinctively, MySchoolSafe fosters a cooperative framework, actively involving parents in their child's safety and positioning schools as pivotal support systems. This collaborative model ensures a comprehensive safety net, empowering family and educational structures.

Our platform offers personalized reports to students and parents while ensuring their privacy and providing them with district and county-specific information and assistance resources. Schools can monitor risk flags to take a proactive approach to safety, and districts can access summarized data to make informed decisions and timely interventions, contributing to a safer educational environment.

Tipline Validation

Any anonymous tip that we receive is immediately forwarded to the parents and corresponding school authorities. We generate an updated social media profile to cross-check if there are any significant risk flags or a change in social media posts that may indicate a heightened risk. To help parents and counselors validate the anonymous tip and suggest next steps, they are provided with a short survey that includes questions about changes in grades, appetite, mood swings, confrontation with peers, and staff. Additionally, we will offer relevant resources and links at the district, county, and federal levels.
