Remember, It’s Safe2Say Something
With schools now back in session, it’s important to remind students, parents, teachers and community members about the Safe2Say Something program, which was established to offer an anonymous resource to report behavior perceived to be threatening to an individual or a school entity.
In addition to potential threats, the program has also received reports of issues such as bullying, anxiety, depression and suicide.
For more information or to submit a report, call 1-844-Saf2Say or visit www.safe2saypa.org. You can also download the “SafeToSay Something PA” app.
