The Start With Hello program helps school communities create and maintain a positive social climate that rejects bullying and social isolation using a clear 3-step model:
See Someone Alone: Learn how to recognize the signs of loneliness and social isolation.
Reach Out and Help: Find out what you can do to help others feel included.
“Start With Hello”: Discover how to break the ice and strike up a conversation.
Across the K-12 grade range, the developmentally appropriate and evidence-informed Start With Hello curriculum builds student awareness and skills in five key areas: belonging, identity and self esteem, warning signs, empathy, youth agency and decision making.
