Each year in schools and communities across the United States, there are millions of youth who hurt themselves or others through verbal, physical and digital means. These behaviors can cause youth to experience emotional trauma and physical injury, mental health or wellness issues, stress, anxiety and/or feelings of being unsafe. Too often, the outcome results in self-harm, suicide or homicide.

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program that 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.

Youth and adults can download the app or call 1-844-Saf2Say to make a report. With Safe2Say Something, it’s easy and confidential to report safety concerns to help prevent violence and tragedies.
