Colorado · Grades 6-12 · Middle & High Schools
Schools in Colorado do not need another fear-based safety lecture. They need a message students can repeat after the gym empties. Jim Jordan centers the program on three student actions: Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard. The See Something Say Something idea supports that framework, while the practical goal is helping students notice concerns, choose courage, and reach an adult who can act. That matters for schools that often connect safety, belonging, wellbeing, athletics, and digital citizenship in the same student-support conversation.
Step 1
Students learn to notice warning signs without treating every unusual moment as an emergency: concerning behavior, online red flags, bullying or harassment patterns, changes in a friend's behavior, threats framed as jokes and situations that deserve a second look.
Step 2
Bravery is responsible action, not confrontation. Students may need to save a screenshot, step away from a risky situation, use an anonymous reporting option or tell a trusted adult even when speaking up feels socially uncomfortable.
Step 3
The goal is not simply to say something — it is to get useful information to someone who can respond. Students learn to separate facts from assumptions, identify trusted adults and reporting channels, and understand that immediate danger requires emergency help.
The memorable student message
See Something Say Something describes the larger prevention idea. Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard gives students the three actions Jim wants them to remember: notice the warning sign, find the courage to act safely and make sure the concern reaches a trusted adult who can help.
Middle school students often know something feels wrong before they know what to call it. In Colorado, Jim connects friendship pressure, social media, stress, and asking for help before a concern grows to the three-step framework and practices a simple first move: tell one trusted adult clearly and early instead of waiting for the situation to grow.
Older Colorado students already navigate complicated situations online and in person. Jim uses screenshots, harassment, threats, peer leadership, and supporting a classmate without taking unsafe risks to challenge them to think like leaders: preserve facts, choose the right adult, and do not let social pressure decide whether a serious concern gets reported.
Colorado students are given a practical next-step ladder: protect immediate safety first, preserve useful evidence when appropriate, then move the concern to the adult or reporting channel that can respond. Schools can identify their own counselors, administrators, anonymous tools, SRO contacts where applicable, or other local procedures before Jim presents.
Interactive, not fear-based
Colorado students are more likely to remember a framework they participated in. Jim combines magic, audience volunteers, direct questions, short video segments and post-assembly quizzes so the program stays energetic without making the safety topic frightening or heavy for the entire session.
A Colorado school does not need to replace its safety process to use this program. Jim can point students back to the school's own counselors, administrators, anonymous channels and emergency procedures. The assembly gives students a memorable framework for using those systems responsibly.
Follow-up matters because students forget one-time messages. Quiz material and discussion prompts give counselors, teachers and student leaders in Colorado a practical way to keep Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard active after the assembly day.
