(PRWEB) February 15, 2007 -- Whenever a workshop is given on stopping school violence, the most important topic of discussion is getting bystanders involved. Bystander involvement can make the most significant impact on bullying and school violence.
There is a fantastic new way to approach this issue. Stopping School Violence LLC has teamed up with AnComm, a company that is the leading innovator of technology-based solutions that allow students and school personnel to communicate anonymously. At first we thought this would be great for solving bullying issues because students could come forward without the worry of being retaliated against or humiliated. However, the schools that are using AnComm's system are experiencing students anonymously asking for help on more than just bullying issues including stress, cutting, cheating, depression, fighting, suicide, stealing, peer pressure, drugs, eating disorders, smoking, and alcohol.
"We prevented 3 suicides in Waco ISD. How can you value that? You don't know the value of this program because you don't see the number of suicides that I have experienced. All it takes is one, then you'll join this program, but why wait?" Dr. Mark Diaz, Manor ISD Superintendent, Manor, TX.
Students are our best source of information. This program empowers them to communicate in a comfortable way using a medium that students are familiar with. Here are some student's requests:
- "Please, he is still trying to make me take drugs. I'll try to talk more later."
- "Dr. Principal, Jane Doe is going to fight someone today and she will probably have a knife on her please take care of it, please."
- "I was raped yesterday and I think I'm gonna kill him or myself."
- "Dear Ms. Doe I just wanted to tell you goodbye, I don't know why I haven't done this before now, I guess I had a reason to live before but he left me and now I have no reason. You always were nice to me so I wanted to say goodbye. Yours truly, dead by dawn."
The potential to help students and stop incidents goes way beyond bullying and school violence. Stopping School Violence LLC believes this program's potential is limitless. It is easy to use, quite affordable, but more importantly, it gives us an opportunity to help students in need.
Please take five minutes out of your busy schedule and contact us so we can explain it further and get answers to any of your questions. Stopping School Violence LLC teamed up with AnComm because we truly believe in the potential good their system can do for you. Thank you.
