Use of Technology as Support
In this world of technology as it pertains to the digital age, communication can play an important role in the relationships between and among family members. Online or instant hotlines on mental health issues, parenting apps, and virtual support groups can be quick means of seeking immediate help for families or individuals. The stigma associated with asking someone else for help does not necessarily follow a child or parent seeking information or a way to obtain the support they want.
Other than this, technology can provide schools with an opportunity to monitor the welfare of students through online surveys and check-ins, where children in need are identified from a very early stage so that proactive interventions are designed, and help reaches the children on time.
