I Don’t Want to Forget: Silence Isn’t Safety

This public service announcement highlights the real feelings youth experience when impacted by violence—from unhealthy relationships to incidents in and around schools. When adults try to protect us by minimizing these moments, we lose the safe space we need to process what we’ve seen or heard. Teens need more than announcements about resources; they need to know someone genuinely cares, and sometimes that takes patience and real conversation. I Don’t Want to Forget: Silence Isn’t Safety calls for listening to youth and recognizing that true safety begins with honesty.
