As a result of the pandemic, kids became more bored and stressed than ever before. There was a heightened feeling of isolation and a decrease in online supervision. All of this combined created a recipe for increased cyberbullying. We do not want any child to suffer in silence, so in turn we joined forces to utilize the strength of two non-profits to build a robust program benefiting all Texas children. Even though we are moving past the stress of the pandemic, cyberbullying and screentime is still at an all time high. These presentations are not only informative but can save lives!

Crime Stoppers of Houston Safe School Institute’s (SSI) goal is to promote personal safety through open dialogue and deter delinquency by providing them with enough information to make sound decisions. Most importantly, we never want to see a student become a victim of crime. Through our presentations and curriculum, we aim to educate and empower students to be the change they want to see to keep their campus safe.

David’s Legacy Foundations aims to provide training opportunities and presentation materials that equip school counselors to present to their students and help them understand what bullying is, know how to refrain from bullying, understand when and how to take action to stop it, and learn how to advocate for themselves and others.

Through our partnership we are providing age-appropriate presentations for students in K-12th grade, which present current, evidence-based bullying prevention information, effective tools, along with guidelines on the legal protections available for students and their peers. These presentations can be facilitated in person or virtually.

We look forward to working with Texas Schools to provide this life-saving information!
