If something unsafe or uncomfortable happens at school, your child can talk to a trusted adult. This may include a teacher, school counselor, social worker, nurse, administrator, coach, or another staff member they feel comfortable with, including a Title IX coordinator.
Your child can also talk to you or another caregiver, who can help them think through next steps. They do not need to have the “right” words or explain everything perfectly. Sharing what happened and how it made them feel is enough to start getting support.
