It takes ALL of us to make a difference

  Friend, Every parent shares the same hope: that their child comes home safe at the end of the school day. But hope alone isn’t enough. Silence and inaction won’t protect our nation’s kids. That’s why we’ve worked nonstop to bring families, educators, and community members together to…

Mental health is just as important as physical safety. Here’s how we can help.

  Hey everyone, When it comes to protecting students, we’re putting in the work to make sure their minds and bodies are secure. That’s not just lip service. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10–24. While that statistic is heartbreaking, the good news is…
