900+

Referrals made to agencies and organizations that provide services to youth.

80+

School districts in WA have opted into HearMeWA.

1000+

meetings and presentations with school districts, law enforcement agencies, and community-based organizations across all 39 counties.

Many schools that never used an anonymous reporting tool have launched campaigns around HearMeWA. The tool has been well received, staff have been trained and equipped to use it and it’s already proven to be an invaluable tool in promoting the 'See Something? Say Something!' environment that we’ve been working to build throughout our region. It has brought together schools and emergency responders in an unprecedented way, and empowered educators and students alike.

School Safety Professional

HearMeWA ensures that youth, especially those in underserved and rural areas, have universal access to mental health assistance. Without this program, countless Washingtonians would be left without support due to geographic or financial barriers. Many schools lack the funding for their own tip lines, making HearMeWA a crucial resource for communities in need.
