    How does the Say Something ARS work? 

    “Tipsters” can send reports on 35 different concerns, from school threats they’ve seen or overheard, to personal crises including sexual harassment, self-harm, abuse, bullying, and depression.

    The system includes a mobile app, website, and telephone hotline for users to submit tips 24/7/365 to the National Crisis Center for analysis and response. 

    When credible tips are received, the Crisis Center notifies the school-based representatives of those that are life-threatening and require immediate intervention. In cases of imminent threat, the Crisis Center contacts the local 9-1-1 dispatch. This enables school administrators and public safety officials work together to effectively prevent shootings, suicide, bullying, self-harm and other forms of violence and victimization.
