A confluence of events has put new emphasis on the role that schools play in not only the academic but also the social, emotional and mental health of its students. Safe and supportive schools are a crucial protective factor for youth, and districts are more focused than ever on upskilling their communities of support to foster environments where students thrive.
Playing the role of a parent, users practice reflecting on their role in fostering a safe and caring school, recognize signs a student may be in distress, understand potential resources of support, and engage in a caring conversation in a safe practice environment. Parents and caregivers have access to customized national, local, and school-specific resources in addition to simulation content.
