    Safe2Say Something (S2SS) is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of 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.  S2SS is an anonymous reporting system recently mandated by Pennsylvania state law designed to help students and staff recognize the warning signs and signals (especially on social media) of individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others.  The S2SS program trains students and school staff members to treat every warning sign seriously and to act quickly to get help by talking to a trusted adult and/or by reporting it anonymously via phone, mobile app, or website to the Pennsylvania S2SS Crisis Center. Schuylkill Technology Center staff members have been trained to respond to and manage tips that are submitted in coordination with state and local law enforcement officials.

     

    S2SS is based on a three-step system:

    1. An anonymous tip is submitted via one of the following options:
      • Website: www.safe2saypa.org
      • Tipline: 1-844-SAF2SAY
      • Mobile App for Apple and Android Devices
    2. All calls and tips are received by the 24/7 S2SS Crisis Center.
      • An S2SS Crisis Center analyst receives and reviews tip information.
      • The tip is triaged and categorized as wither life safety or non-life safety.
      • The tip is then sent to school officials and law enforcement (as needed) via text, email, and/or phone call.
    3. School officials and law enforcement intervene and/or offer assistance.
      • School officials and law enforcement (as needed) investigate, assess, and intervene with reported at-risk individuals.
      • School officials report their outcomes into the Safe2Say Something platform and close out the tip, ensuring accountability for every tip submitted
