The Safe2Say Something program, an anonymous reporting system implemented by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office, has completed its sixth year of operation in schools across the commonwealth.
Speaking from Carlisle High School Monday, Attorney General Dave Sunday and Sen. Greg Rothman, R-New Bloomfield, said the program saves lives and has become more effective over time.
The tool allows students to anonymously report tips about violence and other concerns they have in their community to the Attorney General’s office, who then vets them and passes the information along to the appropriate agencies. For instance, a report of suicidal ideation would be referred to the student’s school, who would then work with parents and the school’s mental health resources to assist the struggling student.
