Welcome to SAY Connect!


SAY - Social Advocates for Youth - provides support, prevention and education to students and families throughout the school year in seven east suburban school districts in Cuyahoga County. In addition, the SAY Coalition provides leadership opportunities for youth as well as education for parents and professionals. During these uncertain times of COVID-19, we would like to continue to connect with our students and their families. In the upcoming weeks, we will provide a brief weekly newsletter focused on a specific topic each issue.

We hope you find these newsletters helpful and informative. You'll be hearing more from us next week!
Spend more time on what gives you energy and less time on what takes it away.

Resilience is the foundation for personal success, it is what helps us navigate and bounce back from any challenge in our life, whether that challenge is big or small.
