Safe2Tell surpassed 30,000 reports for the 2024-2025 school year in June, even as monthly submissions dropped with the arrival of summer break.
The program received 842 reports during the month, a 71 percent decrease from May, bringing the total number of reports for the school year to 30,461, according to the monthly report released on July 8 by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.
“Even in the quieter summer months, Safe2Tell remains an essential tool for individuals to report concerns and access help,” said Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser. “We are committed to ensuring students and community members know this service is always available and that one report can make a life-changing difference.”
In June, the most common report themes included mental health concerns (19.5 percent), school safety (15.3 percent), and submissions classified as “Other” (17.6 percent). Reports in the “Other” category primarily involved individuals requesting information about how to use the program or access its services, an expected trend as communities prepare for the next school year.
Other notable report categories included abuse and exploitation (10.7 percent), community safety (10.7 percent), substance use (7.1 percent), bullying (6.8 percent), and violence (2.7 percent).
Just 2.2 percent of all reports submitted this school year were found to be false.
June reports continued to result in meaningful intervention. In one instance, a report raised concerns that a student who had previously self-harmed was again experiencing suicidal ideation. Law enforcement conducted a welfare check, and while the student said the message was a joke, their parents chose to resume therapy. In another case, a student was reportedly harassing a sibling; law enforcement intervened, helping ensure the sibling’s safety and connecting the family with mental health services.
“These reports show how Safe2Tell serves as a bridge to support,” said Stacey Scardino, director of Safe2Tell. “Whether it’s a serious concern or a question about how to get help, we’re here for everyone 24/7, even during the summer.”
