Sandy Hook Promise was founded in January 2013, in the aftermath of the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and six educators. Sandy Hook Promise turned tragedy into transformation to prevent violence in schools through educational programs and policy advocacy.
The mission of Sandy Hook Promise is to educate and empower youth and adults to prevent violence in schools, homes, and communities. Through our proven, evidence-informed Know the Signs programs and sensible, bipartisan school and gun safety legislation, we teach young people and adults to recognize, intervene, and get help for individuals who may be socially isolated and/or at risk of hurting themselves or others.

Tragedy has struck another school, claiming innocent lives and leaving a community searching for answers. Mark Barden, co-founder and co-CEO of Sandy Hook Promise, joined NBC 10's Abbey Buttacavoli to discuss the heartbreaking events in Wisconsin and the urgent need for prevention.
Mark, who lost his son Daniel in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, reminds us of a powerful truth: most acts of violence are preventable when we know what to look for and take action.

80% of school shooters tell someone about their plans. But too often, people think they’re “just joking.” Always take threats of violence seriously.

Now more than ever, it’s essential to know the signs. If you don’t know what to look for, it can be easy to miss the signs, or dismiss them as unimportant. When you know the signs, you are able to “SaySomething” and get help when other show they may be in danger or need help.
