See Something. Say Something
Our mental health team wants to remind you that BHA has a "See Something, Say Something" program, where students, staff, parents, and community members can use the link below to share safety concerns confidentially with administrators and mental health teammates at Ben Holt College Preparatory Academy. Submissions are regularly reviewed and responded to by administrators and mental health therapists. There is a place to upload files if you need to share screen shots or documents with our team. This link is not intended for emergencies, so if you need to report an emergency, please call 9-1-1.
Here is the link to BHA's "See Something, Say Something" program.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our community safe.
