R;pple©
In our continued work to foster student Well-Being and Mental Health we have added R;pple© to the YRDSB wifi network as a Google Chrome browser extension. The extension is deployed through the YRDSB GAPPS environment meaning if a student is not logged into their browser with their GAPPS account, the tool would not be initiated.
R;pple© is a tool which presents a life promoting message and helpful resources (such as kidshelpphone) when a student searches for harmful keywords or phrases related to self-harm or suicide.
No personal information is collected and students are not identifiable.
For more information about Student Suicide Prevention and Life Promotion, please review the resource link below YRDSB Student Suicide Intervention Protocol.
