A safe space at Robert College

You're not alone.
Your voice matters here.

SafeSpace is a confidential place for Robert College students to share what's happening — bullying, harassment, theft, or just a hard day. Speak anonymously, or use your name to talk to a trusted tutor. Either way, we're listening.

Share what's happening

Take your time. There's no "right way" to tell your story. Every report is read by a trained school counselor — usually within one school day.

A trusted adult
One person

Someone who knows you

A parent, a tutor, an older sibling, a coach, a neighbor. You only need one person to start. If the first person doesn't listen — try another. Keep going until someone does.

Things worth remembering

Big feelings don't make you weak. Asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do — at any age, for any reason.

Telling one person is enough to start. You don't owe anyone your whole story on day one.

— A counselor at Robert College

What you're feeling is real. It is also temporary. Both of these things are true.

— A reminder for hard days

Being a friend to someone going through a hard time doesn't mean fixing it. Listening is enough.

— For when you're worried about a friend

If the first adult doesn't hear you, try another. Your story is worth telling twice.

— On speaking up

You can be having a hard time and still belong here. Both things fit in the same heart.

— A reminder for everyone

Asking for help is not the end of the story. It's the part where the story starts to change.

How SafeSpace works

The most common questions students ask. If yours isn't here, ask a counselor — it won't be a silly question.

Is it really anonymous?

Yes. If you choose "Anonymous", the form does not store your name, email, IP address, or any identifying information. The counselor who reads it sees only your story and the category you picked. The only way they can know who you are is if you choose to tell them.

Who reads my report?

A trained school counselor reads every report — usually within one school day. They decide together with you what happens next. Reports are not shared with teachers, tutors, or parents unless you ask for that or there is a serious safety concern.

What if I'm worried about a friend?

You can absolutely report on behalf of a friend. Use the "A friend I'm worried about" tag and tell us what you're seeing. We won't approach your friend in a way that exposes you — we'll work out the safest way together.

When will confidentiality be broken?

School counselors keep your story confidential. There are only a few situations where they have to involve others: if you or someone else is in immediate danger of being hurt, or if there is ongoing abuse. They will always tell you before they take that step, and explain why.

Will I get in trouble?

No. You don't get in trouble for reporting something, for asking for help, or for telling the truth about a hard situation — even if you were part of it. SafeSpace is a place to be heard, not judged.

Can I take it back if I change my mind?

Yes. If you used your name, just message your counselor and ask them to pause or close the report. Anonymous reports can't be "taken back" because we don't know who sent them — but no action is ever taken without checking in with you first.
