Safe DE makes it easy for schools to give everybody access to support and resources. The three main access methods are: • RESOURCES - customized information and help at your community, local, state, and national levels • TEXT A COUNSELOR - reach out to trained crisis counselors via text • REPORT A CONCERN - an anonymous request service for your school or community. It includes a two-way Messenger to continue a conversation linked to the original request. With the free mobile Safe DE app, people have instant access to information and counselors when needed. Asking for help for themselves or others is just a tap away. Administrators in a school use a smart and easy central admin platform where they can review incidents, communicate securely via two-way messaging, and manage resources supplied through the app. They can also send broadcast messages directly to app users. The Safe DE app and central platform support private, secure, and anonymous access, and help create safe, smart places for people to live, work, and learn.
