While we’re spending more time at home, it’s no surprise that we’re spending more time online – and so are the young people in our lives. Social media has many positives, but in a world of manipulated images and unrealistic beauty ideals, it has become harder to know what’s real and what’s not. That’s why we created Confident Me At Home – a series of mini lessons and confidence building activities to help young people navigate the world of social media and raise their self-esteem while they're learning from home.
The Missouri School Violence Hotline (SVH) began in October of 2001. In 2019, through the Missouri School Safety Initiative, the reporting mechanism moved to the Missouri Information Analysis Center for 24/7 operation and was named Courage2ReportMO. The goal is to make schools safer by helping school districts and law enforcement learn about school violence as soon as possible. Courage2ReportMO takes CONFIDENTIAL reports involving any public or private school in Missouri with students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
