Break the Silence

We're turning up the volume on student voices. A youth-led initiative, designed to shine a light on bullying:

what it looks like,

how it feels,

and how to get help.

Through peer-led videos, real stories and mental health resources; we will build awareness while creating safe spaces for students to be seen, heard, and supported.

Need someone to talk to?

If you’ve been bullied, call: (475) 673-1822
If you’re feeling really down or having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 anytime. You are not alone.
