In partnership with Western Montana Professional Learning Collaborate (WMPLC) and STOPit Solutions, the Montana Small Schools Alliance (MSSA) will be making the Montana Cares Help App available to its members beginning this spring.

Montana Cares Program

The program will focus on connecting students, staff & parents to basic needs and community resources.  It will also feature 24/7 immediate crisis support, and a direct to school communication platform accessible through the Mobile App, Chromebooks or Web, and Phone. The program is powered and delivered by STOPit Solutions through its 24/7/365 Help Center who monitor the program and escalate any life-threatening or imminent threat situations immediately.

STOPit provides the most comprehensive onboarding for program administrators and training for students and adults on how to recognize mental health, personal, safety, and misconduct issues and concerns.
