Combat Bullying with Talk About it

Picture
Porter Nation is proud to announce a partnership with Talk About It, an anonymous communication website that allows students to safely report bullying or other concerns that they may not feel comfortable talking about directly to a leader. All information is private and students can safely tell counselors and administrators what is happening to them or others.

With Talk About It, students can either login to the website and report bullying and other concerns, or they can text the information. 


For more information, please visit our Talk About It information page.
