The Breaking Silence Textline is operated by Project Safe’s trained interns and overseen by two Textline Managers.  Breaking Silence utilizes this near peer approach in hopes that teens and young adults will more easily open up about their experiences to someone closer to their own age.  In 2016, the Textline was able to begin expanding with help from Georgia Tech’s Institute for People and Technology through funding offered by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.  Since 2017, the Textline has been able to provide confidential support, information & referral to teens throughout the state of Georgia. It’s confidential and available 24/7!

Breaking Silence Education

In addition to providing a safe place for teens and young adults to get help and resources, Breaking Silence also provides presentations to teens and young adults in middle school, high school and college and we are always looking for collaborations with community partners. If you are interested in bringing a Breaking Silence presentation to your school, group, or organization, please call the Project Safe business line at 706-549-0922!  Follow us on social media to learn more about this initiative and the dynamics of abusive relationships.  Follow the Breaking Silence Facebook page here.  Follow us on Instagram @brkingsilence !
