New Hanover County Schools is partnered with the Say Something Anonymous Reporting program to provide our students with a safe, responsive way to seek help for themselves and others.

Say Something is a youth violence prevention program from Sandy Hook Promise – a national violence prevention organization. Say Something Anonymous Reporting System allows youth and adults to submit secure & anonymous safety concerns to help identify and intervene upon at-risk individuals BEFORE they hurt themselves or others. The system enables school administrators and law enforcement to create effective interventions and to help prevent violence, suicide, bullying, self-harm and other forms of threatening behavior.

With the Anonymous Reporting System, it’s easy and completely confidential to report safety concerns to help prevent violence and tragedies.

Last week, Williston students will receive the student training on the program. This consists of a 25 minute video produced by Say Something. If your child has a personal connection to a school violence experience or horrific event and you would like to discuss this with a school counselor before the video is shown, please reach out to their grade level counselor.
