Safe 2 Say Something

Archbishop Wood High School is committed to the safety and well-being of our students and educators.

We believe this commitment includes the implementation of programs that involve parents, teachers, support staff, administrators, local law enforcement, mental health & wellness professionals, and elected officials to take meaningful action to protect our students, staff, and community.

As a part of that effort, AWHS is joining Archdiocesan Schools and School Districts across the Commonwealth in rolling out the:

Safe 2 Say Something (S2SS) Program

Recently mandated by Pennsylvania State law, S2SS is an anonymous reporting system designed to help students and staff to 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.

Staff members will be 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
1st Step	2nd Step	3rd Step
An anonymous tip is submitted using one of the following options: Website: https://www.safe2saypa.org/ Tipline: 1-844-SAF2SAY Mobile App for Apple and Android Devices	All calls and tips are received by the 24/7 S2SS Crisis Center A S2SS Crisis Center analyst receives and reviews tip information.
