HOW CAN I SUPPORT MY CHILD WITH SAFEUT?
Encourage your child to talk about their emotions and let them know that the app is available to support them. Listen to their concerns about school issues. If your child feels anyone’s safety or mental well-being is threatened, suggest using the app to submit a tip.
TALKING WITH MY CHILD
The most important resource for your child’s mental health is you. SafeUT can offer a listening ear and qualified support in times of crisis, but no one can truly replace the influence of a loving parent/guardian.
It starts with honest, open conversations with your child about topics like mental health and conflict resolution. If you need a little guidance or a few talking points, the “Conversation Starters” PDF can help.
OUR COUNSELING TOPICS INCLUDE:
Depression & Anxiety
Suicide Prevention
Drug & Alcohol Problems
Self-Harm
Loss & Grief
Bullying & Cyberbullying
Relationship Difficulties
Any Life Challenge
We can always use your help
