Student Safety and Wellness
Kids can't learn when they don't feel safe. Student safety & mental wellbeing is foundational to student success.
There's a mental health crisis among our students and a safety crisis in our schools. Proactive student safety monitoring can help.
It’s an uphill battle
School districts face an uphill battle in providing adequate mental health and safety support to their students. Too many school safety, student services, and educator teams are short-staffed and overwhelmed—a dangerous combination as school violence is on the rise and student mental health is on the decline.
The stakes are high:
- School violence – Mental health issues are at the root of violence plaguing school campuses.
- Attendance – Students experiencing mental health crises or worrying about safety at school have higher truancy rates.
- Poor educational outcomes – Students need to feel safe in their schools in order to learn.
- Negative media & liability – Schools are increasingly on the line for not identifying and acting upon threats, violence, and signs of depression.

Safety is at the heart of our mission. Our solutions are built to help schools keep students safe online, and to proactively identify students in crisis before tragedy occurs.
Lightspeed Filter makes it easy to keep the web safe
Viewing pornography, violence, and other inappropriate content can negatively impact young children. The first layer in student online safety is blocking inappropriate content from being seen in the first place.

- SmartPlay to keep YouTube content safe (and block comments)

Proactive Monitoring
Students confide in their devices and their digital worlds, giving clues into mental health that district staff can’t see—especially when these teams are perpetually understaffed. Lightspeed Alert provides proactive student safety monitoring by analyzing online activity and alerting on signs of concern.
Cyberbullying Prevention
Cyberbullying is a growing problem that can have disastrous effects for a student or campus.
Lightspeed Alert’s monitoring can identify signs of cyberbullying so staff can intervene and counsel students before disastrous results.
Age-Appropriate Controls
Part of keeping students safe online is adjusting their internet experience based on their age or grade or level.
Lightspeed Filter makes it easy to adjust access for different groups of students, providing a safe experience with decreasing digital guardrails that teach students appropriate behaviour.
