SAY SOMETHING
Empowers students to grow a community of Upstanders and "say something" to a Trusted Adult when they recognize warning signs and threats.
SAY SOMETHING ARS
Empowers students to be Upstanders. Students learn how to "say something" to a Trusted Adult and submit a tip to the Say Something ARS when they recognize warning signs and threats.
Other Ways to Get Involved
