To develop this mobile app we surveyed adults and teens nationwide.
CheckDEC puts a multitude of resources and services within minutes of the user’s location in the palm of their hands. The crisis helpline resources connect children and families to help today. The app also connects community members or family members with services and resources in their location or they can select services and resources in their family member’s location. Users can submit their stories or message of hope or support via video or text to encourage and help others. Videos offering hope, support, and encouragement are provided in the app.
The app connects multi-disciplinary professionals, state, tribal, and local DEC alliances, with resources, services, and information from NADEC. The app makes it easy for professionals to share information and resources with children, families, and their communities. Soon, professionals will also be able to upload additional resources that may not be available via the web.
A comprehensive news feed provides children, families, communities, and professionals with up-to-the-minute news about substance use, prevention, services, research, statistics, and data, where to find help, and much more.
Phase 2 of the app will launch in September 2022 with additional content, tools, training, and methods of connection and communication for DEC alliances.
Children are the first ones affected and usually, the last ones helped. Download the app and make a difference in the lives of children and families in your community.
