When callers need additional services, they will receive assistance and connection to local providers.

Reach out by text to communicate with someone trained to listen and respond in a method that is private, secure, and confidential.

Safety Tip Line

Safer Ohio Tip Line: 1-844-723-3764. The line is monitored 24/7. Every tip can remain anonymous.

Victimizations, bullying, and other disorders such as drug and alcohol use are often not reported directly to school authorities or even to parents and guardians. Oftentimes this is because students do not want to be identified, don’t want a friend or classmate in trouble, or simply don’t know how or where to report these threats.

Things to report to the tip line include:

  • Bullying incidents

  • Withdrawn student behaviors

  • Verbal or written threats observed toward students, faculty, or school buildings

  • Weapon/suspicious devices on or near school grounds

  • Gang-related activities

  • Unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff

  • Self-harm or suicidal sentiments
