The page focuses on key safety topics outlined by the Washington State Legislature in HB 1230:
Valuable information from federal, state, local, and community resources are on the page to address common questions about these topics.
Please Note:

This site does not cover youth mental health and wellness, emotional safety, or the root causes of self-harm. For help, contact your health or behavioral health provider. In an emergency, call 9-1-1.

This site is a starting point and will continue to grow based on questions and suggestions.
