How Anonymous Reporting Is Saving Lives in Schools

“A girl is cutting herself.” “I want to die.” “Someone threatened to shoot up the school. I saw the gun on Snapchat. I’m scared!” More than 50 thousand tips like these have come into Sandy Hook Promise’s anonymous reporting system and their state partners. The resulting interventions have helped kids get the help they need, and saved countless lives. We will show you real-life examples from this program and the incredible impact its comprehensive approach is having on keeping students and school communities safe.
