Safe2Say Something Origins Originated from the Sandy Hook tragedy Group came up with the idea to create an interactive platform to communicate with appropriate parties Designed to create awareness of harmful situations students sometimes find themselves
Program Design Communicate Life threatening incidents (Shootings, suicides, drug- overdoses, self-harm) Non-life threatening (Sexual assault, bullying, cyber-bullying, other acts of violence) These are just examples and are not limited to what can/should be reported
What should be reported Anything that is credible Anything that is a threat to a person, people, or place All false reports will be viewed in a similar manner as a fake bomb threat. Reports may be anonymous but can be found using police methods
