Why do students need the Be-Hope App?
The Be-Hope App was developed in response to an overwhelming need for a 24/7 interactive resource to combat trauma, stress, loneliness, and other socio-emotional difficulties experienced by students on a daily basis.
-
Skills for life
Having positive social and emotional skills is important throughout life and can have an impact on how children and youth function at home, school, and in social situations.
-
Safety and success
When children and youth face social, emotional, or behavioral challenges, it can impact their safety and chances for school success and healthy relationships.
-
A gap in support
Social and emotional disconnection also leads to violent and unstable neighborhoods, sometimes suicide. Children and adolescents with social and emotional challenges are underserved by the resources of most schools.
What does the Be-Hope App do?
The Be-Hope App’s customizable environment serves as a prevention and detection platform to help students, including the most at-risk students.
-
24/7 access
For the first time, each student can have access to a 24/7 resource to help deal with a range of social and emotional challenges and community needs in an influential and positive way.
-
Bilingual self-help sections
Students have mobile access to a collection of interactive self-help and social interaction sections designed by professionals and students.
-
Core life skills education
With only a phone, the Be-Hope App can provide comfort, knowledge, and a way to bounce back for those struggling with anxiety, stress, self-control, positive and healthy relationships, time management, self-motivation, and more.
-
Sense of community
A safe space for community support to decrease isolation, and build peer support and acts of service.
-
Get Involved and Good News sections
For positive and healthy connections.

Help our children and youth with the Be-Hope App
Please join our nonprofit mission of bringing the Be-Hope App to all students in need, no matter where they may be.
The Greater Houston area has over 500,000 students, many of whom lack social and emotional support and are at risk, underserved, and often overlooked by the community’s strained resources.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered their encouragement, hard work, and unwavering support to turn this vital vision into reality.
Support the Be-Hope App
Thanks to your generous support and the Be-Hope App, we will be able to serve many students’ social and emotional needs that would not have been served otherwise. These essential life skills are something we all need to learn, and together, we can ensure that more young people have the tools to thrive.
