Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A digital guide or curriculum for parents on age-appropriate scripts for de-escalation and reporting violence.
  2. A peer-support network for parents in high-conflict school districts to share safety strategies and resources.
  3. A mobile app that provides interactive role-playing scenarios to help children practice boundary setting and safety responses.
