Our Programs

Say Something

The Say Something program teaches youth how to recognize warning signs and threats of someone who may be at-risk of hurting themselves or others and to “say something” to a Trusted Adult before a tragedy can occur.

Start With Hello

The Start With Hello program empowers students to recognize loneliness and social isolation in their peers, offering effective strategies to reach out and help, and ways they can grow an empathetic and inclusive community.

Say Something - Anonymous Reporting System

The Say Something-Anonymous Reporting System teaches students how to recognize warning signs and threats of someone who may be at-risk of hurting themselves or others and to “say something” to a Trusted Adult or report anonymously using our downloadable app, telephone hotline, or website.
