📌 What STOPit Solutions Is

STOPit Solutions is a technology-based safety and wellness company that provides tools for anonymous reporting, crisis management, and safety communication for schools, workplaces, and communities across the U.S. and beyond. It focuses on helping organizations identify concerns early, intervene quickly, and prevent harm before it escalates. 

Founded in 2013, STOPit partners with thousands of schools and organizations to support safer environments and better mental-health outcomes. 

This is the heart of STOPit — a mobile app and web platform where students (and employees) can report safety concerns anonymously. Reports can include text, photos, videos, or screenshots and are sent directly to school administrators. 

Typical things reported include:

• Bullying or cyberbullying

• Violence or threats

• Weapons possession

• Substance abuse

• Sexual misconduct

• Safety hazards

• Harassment or discrimination

• Self-harm or emotional distress 

This system gives students a private, safe way to speak up about things they see or experience — especially when they might be afraid to report it in person. 

STOPit isn’t just a dropbox for tips — it includes a 24/7 Incident Response Center that watches incoming reports around the clock. If a situation is urgent or life-threatening, trained responders can escalate to school officials or even 911 immediately. 

This is especially important because crises don’t happen only during school hours. 

This is a panic button / emergency alert component that lets staff or administrators:

• Trigger rapid alerts to response teams

• Communicate in real time during incidents

• Send mass notifications to staff and students

• Provide exact location info to responders or 911

• Coordinate emergency response efficiently 

If a school has an active threat (like active shooter, severe weather, or large-scale emergency), Notify helps mobilize response quickly and effectively. 

STOPit also offers training curricula focused on:

• Social-emotional learning

• Safety awareness

• Threat assessment

• Trauma-informed approaches

• Preventing harmful behaviors 

Districts can use these to educate students and staff about recognizing warning signs and building a culture of support and prevention. 

STOPit provides tools to help school teams systematically evaluate risk (for violence, suicide, and other serious safety issues) and form consistent, compliant intervention plans. This is important for legally sound decision-making after a report is submitted. 

Schools adopt STOPit because:

✅ Students may not feel comfortable reporting concerns in person, but will use an app. 
✅ Anonymous reporting boosts the chances that warning signs are seen early. 
✅ Administrators can track trends, intervene sooner, and document incidents properly. 
✅ The system connects reporting with resources like crisis counseling (via Crisis Text Line integration) and emergency escalation when needed. 
✅ It gives schools a structured, consistent way to manage safety concerns, follow policies, and protect students and staff. 

STOPit Solutions is a comprehensive safety platform that helps:

✔ People report threats and concerns anonymously
✔ Administrators receive and act on those reports
✔ Schools manage safety and compliance
✔ Organizations prevent harm before it escalates
✔ Crisis events are identified and escalated quickly

All of this contributes to safer schools and healthier communities overall.
