(COLORADO) — After its highest reporting month in February, Safe2Tell is reporting a decrease in reports for March but still an increase year over year.

Attorney General Phil Weiser said a decline during spring break is common but March’s report still highlights ongoing challenges faced by students, including bullying and suicidal ideations.

“It has never been harder to be a young person than it is today. But I’ve seen some real glimmers of hope in the fight for youth mental health recently,” said Attorney General Phil Weiser. “I had the privilege of meeting with our incredible Safe2Tell student ambassadors who are truly making a difference in their schools and communities to support student well-being and share Safe2Tell resources. I also had the honor to recognize Stargate Charter School as our first Safe2Tell Gold Star school. They’re a shining example of how community collaboration can safeguard the well-being of our children.”

March saw a report volume for the 2023-2024 school year rise to 20,611, showing a 30% increase over the year before. School complaints, bullying, and suicide were among to top categories for reports.

“This is the third month in a row that school complaints have been the top category, which follows a trend we are seeing nationally as well,” explained Safe2Tell Director Stacey Jenkins.

To make a report, individuals can call 1-877-542-7233 from anywhere, at any time. Reports also can be made at Safe2Tell.org, by texting S2TCO to 738477, or through the Safe2Tell mobile app which is available on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
