The Break the Silence Video provides valuable information for recognizing the warnings signs of school violence and the leader's guide offers questions and suggestions for proactive follow-up. Young narrators show students they do not have to be afraid and that it is their responsibility to speak out if they suspect that a student will act violently. Students who reveal such information are shown they can be protected by remaining anonymous or asking the teacher not to reveal his/her name. This empowers students with the ability to assist their friends and teachers in the fight against school crime.

Pamphlets provide written reminders of the information presented in the video and are perfect for the students to take home and share with their families and friends. Hanging the posters in key locations will remind all teens to be on the lookout for violent or potentially violent behavior. These are great ways to fight the war on crime essentially giving students a safer place to learn.
