Social Inclusion
Start with Hello
Week of (11/18-11/21)
|
Teaching Role: Introduce students to Start with Hello:
Goals are to recognize loneliness, include peers who may be struggling socially, and to grow a kindness culture
Background: We all need to feel like we belong somewhere. The truth is, we all offer something unique to the world, through our voice, talents, interests, culture, and perspective.
Activity: Students will watch a Start with Hello video to introduce the Goals & Program Framework (below), followed by a class discussion activity related to Building Empathy.
Goals
The three goals of the Start With Hello program are to teach students how to:
- Recognize loneliness and social isolation in their peers
- Help their peers who may be lonely and/or socially isolated
- Grow an empathetic and inclusive community
Program Framework
The goals are accomplished using a 3-step program framework:
- See Someone Alone: Learn to understand social isolation, empathize with those who may feel alone, learn how “healthy alone time” is different, and emphasize the importance of connection.
- Reach Out & Help: Develop strategies for connecting with others and ways to alleviate anxiety about reaching out.
- “Start with Hello”: Apply methods to include others, build lasting relationships and support a connective & inclusive school and community

Safety Training and Violence Prevention
Say Something
December 2024
|
Presentation- Say Something Foundational Training followed by
Classroom Discussion
- Signs to look for
- How to report
Trusted Adults/Mentors
- What is a trusted adult?
- Who is a Trusted Adult that makes you feel safe to be yourself?
- Name an adult you feel is “in your corner”. How do they show you that they are for you?
- Which adult do you most commonly ask for help, whether with school, a social issue, etc?
Supporting Activity:
Write a short note to a Trusted Adult, thanking them for their influence in their lives. They may hand-deliver this note to that adult.
***This helps them formalize a protective relationship in their minds, allowing a young person to practice a “help-seeking pathway”. This increases the likelihood that they will reach back out to that adult when they need help.
