"The protection of children and adolescents in the digital world is very close to my heart. With my Social PROS I strengthen the media literacy of children, teenagers, parents, and teachers. An additional technical tool like Helmit, which detects dangers, warns parents, and brings them into dialogue with the kids, I find infinitely valuable.

Since social media providers won't do it, Helmit has the absolutely right approach: protection without prohibition – gaining experience safely. Thank you to the dedicated Helmit team!
Great app. Reliably shows messages where my child needs support.
My son (12) loves playing Roblox and chatting with friends on Discord. But all those strangers in the servers worry me. With Helmit, I'm much more relaxed because I know he's protected.
Thank you for the great software and the fast customer service. The software is very helpful and creates a great balance between privacy for the child and peace of mind for parents.
As a single mom, I can't always check what my 13-year-old does online. Last month, Helmit caught some creepy guy messaging her on Instagram. Really glad I have this!
I don't wanna read my son's chats, just know he's safe. Privacy matters a lot to us, so Helmit feels right.
