SAFE2SAY SOMETHING

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General. The program 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.

In 2018, the General Assembly passed Act 44 mandating the establishment and use of the “Safe2Say Something” (S2SS) anonymous reporting system by every Pennsylvania school entity by January 14, 2019.

Three Ways to Submit a TIP:

  1. Call the tipline: 1-844-SAF2SAY (1-844-723-2729)
  2. Use the website: www.safe2saypa.org
  3. Use the mobile app available on iOS and Android store

How Does it Work?:

    • Submit an anonymous tip report through the Safe2SaySomething system
    • The crisis center reviews, assesses, and processes all submissions
    • The crisis center sends all submissions to school administration and/or law enforcement for intervention
    • If needed, the crisis center may contact the tipster anonymously through the app
