About this app

HWDSB Helps is a free, anonymous reporting service at Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) in partnership with InTouch Mobile Canada. The service encourages two-way conversations so that students, staff and families can share concerns - and help each other find help. HWDSB Helps shares anonymous reports with the appropriate school so it can be addressed using school/Board protocols. This is not a counselling service but can direct students in crisis to 911 or Kids Help Phone.

Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board has a vision in which all students achieve their full potential. Embracing student achievement, engagement and equity, the Board's staff strives to provide relevant, responsive education so that each of our 49,000 students becomes lifelong learners and contributing citizens in a diverse world.

This app supports anonymous communications - however Google requires user to allow SMS / Contacts access in order to use the texting function within the app. Configuring the recommended settings does NOT compromise anonymity in the app.
