About this resource
When it comes to school safety, parents are the first line of defense—and often the ones who can make the biggest difference. The Break the Silence, Stop the Violence: A Guide for Parents Pamphlet is designed to give parents and caregivers the knowledge and tools they need to recognize early warning signs of potential violence and take proactive steps to protect their children and schools.
This easy-to-read pamphlet highlights the critical role that parental involvement plays in prevention. Inside, parents will find straightforward guidance on spotting concerning behaviors, such as sudden personality changes, obsessions with weapons or violent themes, expressions of depression or low self-esteem, cruelty to animals, or escalating aggression.
Beyond recognizing the signs, the pamphlet provides practical strategies for taking action. Parents will learn how to encourage open communication with their children, how to create a safe space for their kids to talk, and how to emphasize the importance of reporting potential threats or troubling behavior without fear of retaliation. It also covers the impact of positive role modeling, treating others with respect, and building strong connections within the school community.
Give parents the knowledge they need to take action and help stop violence before it starts.
This pamphlet is also available in Spanish.
