We are happy to announce the launch of the “Safe2Say Something” (S2SS) anonymous reporting system. This program, which is mandated under PA state law / Act 44,  teaches students in grades 6-12, teachers, and administrators how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, of individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and Say Something to a trusted adult OR use its anonymous reporting system. Specifically, the program educates participants to:

• Recognize the signs and signals of at-risk behaviors – especially within social media

• Take every sign and signal seriously; act quickly to get help by talking to a trusted adult OR

• Report it anonymously through the S2SS Office of the Attorney General 24/7 Crisis Center, phone app, or website (more details below)

• Respond to and manage the submitted tip via a school-based multi-disciplinary educator and administrator teams
