How K-12 IT Teams Can Impact Student Mental Health & Wellbeing

With the right tools and processes in place, your district can play a pivotal role in students’ mental health

Technology has become an integral part of students' lives, both in their personal life and at school. However, there are numerous ways that it can adversely affect their wellbeing, from cyberbullying to harmful online content, to private information being hacked and shared publicly.

Fortunately, IT teams can also use technology to help students as they increasingly use school-provided technology as personal spaces.
