Safe2Say
Students in all grades have received the annual information about using Safe 2 Say Something.
Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to
“say something” BEFORE it is too late.
With Safe2Say Something, it’s easy and confidential to report safety concerns
to help prevent violence and tragedies.
Here’s how it works:
Submit an anonymous tip report through the Safe2SaySomething system
Crisis center reviews, assesses and processes all submissions
Crisis center sends all submissions to school administration and/or law enforcement for intervention
If needed, crisis center may contact tipster anonymously through the app
