The launch of http://www.AnComm.Com, has been announced recently by AnComm, the nation's first and only anonymous online messaging and emergency notification service provider for schools. AnComm's new Web site is designed as an online resource for school administrators, teachers, parents and students to learn more about school violence and the role of communication in improving school safety. This new Web Site offers an abundance of free school safety information, including school violence facts and statistics, on-demand school safety webinars, links to third-party Web sites and access to a soon-to-be released White Paper.
Carter Myers, President of AnComm, stated: "The most important, and yet most commonly overlooked component of a comprehensive school safety plan is communication Our new Web site explores how communication between faculty and students can be improved and the critical role it plays in fostering a safer, more comfortable learning environment." Currently in use by more than 100 school systems across the country, AnComm's 'Talk About It' anonymous online messaging and emergency notification service gives students a web-based portal to reach out and communicate their troubles -- breaking the 'code of silence' through anonymous communication."
Among many other important things we can learn: * How schools can raise school safety quickly -- without massive capital investments in capital infrastructure, such as the installation of metal detectors, security cameras and the hiring of additional security personnel,
* How the 'Code of Silence' -- a pervasive sense among adolescents that telling grownups another student is in pain or may pose a threat to others violates an unwritten, but powerful principle -- is inhibiting improtant communication between school administrators, faculty and students,
* How schools across the U.S. are employing anonymous communication to significantly reduce the likelihood of violence caused by common problems facing U.S. students, including bullying, stress, depression, gangs, threats of violence, fighting, peer pressure, drugs, drug and alcohol abuse, self-mutilation, pregnancy, pregnancy, sexual harassment, date rape and suicide,
* How school administrators and counselors can more effectively reach the technology proficient children of today's 'i-Generation.
