Safe2HelpIL looks to support students heading back to school

As the new school year begins, Illinois students now have a new way to communicate possible threats or mental health crises to professionals.

The start of the school year is also the start of a new program to help students with bullying and mental health.

It's called "Safe2Help Illinois."

Students can safely and confidentially report a crisis, threat, or bullying involving themselves or someone they know.
