Mental Wellness - HELPme App
Horizon School Division is thrilled to announce the launch of the HELPme app, an exciting new mental wellness initiative available to Horizon students, their families, staff, and school community councils (SCCs). The HELPme app is designed to create a supportive and caring environment, putting mental health resources at the fingertips of everyone in our school communities.
The HELPme app provides three ways for students, parents, SCCs, and staff to ask for and receive help:
● Get Resources – is a safe space for users to explore essential needs and wellness resources at
their own pace. It provides a confidential way to connect with local resources, ensuring privacy
and dignity for those seeking assistance.
● Crisis Text Line – provides users with immediate mental health support. With a network of
trained crisis counselors, users can text with an available counsellor 24/7, 365 days a year.
● Ask For Help – is an anonymous communication channel between users and designated school
personnel. It allows users to request help directly from their school without the pressure of
disclosing their identity. Users may also request help for a friend or family member.
Access this free resource:
1. Download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
2. Select your school from the dropdown menu.
3. Accept the Terms and Conditions
We hope that you will access this new resource to help our entire school community get help in the way that works best for them.
