SameHere Student

To inquire about your school or district utilizing this app, email us at schools@weareallalittlecrazy.org. Connect with your teacher or school mental health professional using this #SameHere Scale App. You will be able to share your responses with your teacher and/or your school professionals, at their request - daily, weekly, monthly, and engage in private, secured chats related to those responses. No other students will be able to view your responses or communications. #SameHere is a Global Mental Health Movement that works with everyone from schools to professional sports teams, to normalize the conversation around mental health, and to make it part of our everyday conversations. With the #SameHere Scale, we have worked with school professionals, graphic designers, and world-renowned psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and social workers to create an easy to understand (mental health continuum, or) “scale” that puts all of us in the school community on the same page with respect to common language that can be used to express how our responses may change over time. We give schools all over the world the opportunity to break down the barriers of communication between students and teachers/school professionals, by providing a simple but effective tool and communication platform, that fosters important discussions. Without these tools, when you are asked how you are doing, a typical response is: “OK” or “Fine.” This gets us nowhere. The #SameHere Scale and the app are designed to help you open up more easily and foster communication to help you address any challenges you may be facing in your life - and to feel the healthiest you can.
