Back-to-school essential PSA | Sandy Hook Promise
Our Emmy Award-winning “Back-to-School Essentials” PSA was created in 2019 and is still relevant today. In 2022, 34 students and adults died while more than 43,000 children were exposed to gunfire at school.
Back-to-school season should be a time of nervous excitement for what’s to come. And yet students and families are often also reminded of the fear of possible violence at school. Click the link in our bio to learn how you can take action to protect our kids.
*Please note: this PSA contains graphic content related to school shootings that may be upsetting to some viewers. If you feel that this subject matter may be too difficult for you, you may choose not to watch this video.*

Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a national, nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut. We are led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and 6 educators. SHP is focused on preventing gun violence (and other forms of violence and victimization) BEFORE it happens by educating and mobilizing youth and adults on mental health and wellness programs that identify, intervene and help at-risk individuals. SHP is a moderate, above-the-politics organization that supports sensible non-policy and policy solutions that protect children and prevent gun violence. Our intent is to honor all victims of gun violence by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation. For more information, visit https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/
