Washington Township Schools partners with STOPit Solutions to bring HELPme, a 24/7/365 technology platform, into our school community. HELPme is designed to provide invaluable assistance to our students, families, and staff, offering a private and accessible way to access a wide array of resources and support.

You Are Not Alone
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.

Three Ways To Get Help

A smartphone displays the HELPme app, offering resources and crisis support.

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:
If you would like to request help directly from your school, click the Ask for Help button. You can request help for yourself, a friend, or your family. Your request will remain anonymous, or you can choose to identify yourself. A trusted adult from your school will respond by messenger to gather more information and/or provide the help requested.

Privacy

No personal information is needed to use HELPme. The only way personally identifiable information will be accessible through HELPme is if a requester voluntarily includes it within the content of a request or message.
