Learn More — Stand Up with H.E.L.P.™

​

Stand Up with H.E.L.P.™ teaches students how to recognize unsafe behavior, trust their instincts, and take action in ways that protect themselves and others. Instead of focusing on fear or worst‑case scenarios, this booklet gives students a predictable, trauma‑informed framework for speaking up when something doesn’t feel right.

Students learn how to notice early warning signs, set boundaries, and use their voice confidently—whether the situation involves bullying, peer pressure, unsafe online behavior, or something happening in their environment. The goal is simple: help students understand that their feelings matter, their voice matters, and adults want to know when something feels off.

Inside the booklet, students explore:
 

• How to recognize unsafe or confusing behavior in themselves or others

• How to speak up early—before a situation becomes bigger or more harmful

• How to use the H.E.L.P.™ steps to stay safe and get adult support

• How to support a friend who may be struggling or unsure

• How to build a personal safety network of trusted adults

Throughout the workbook, students practice what it looks like to “stand up” in real‑world situations—calmly, confidently, and without putting themselves at risk. They learn that standing up doesn’t always mean confronting someone; sometimes it means getting help, setting a boundary, or simply telling an adult what they noticed.

 

Stand Up with H.E.L.P.™ strengthens students’ confidence, builds their help‑seeking skills, and reinforces a message every child deserves to hear, you never have to handle safety concerns on your own.
