HearMeWA Advisory Committee

Find out more about HearMeWA by visiting www.HearMeWA.org

The AGO convenes the HearMeWA Advisory Committee, previously known as the Youth Safety and Well-being Tipline Advisory Committee.

The purpose of the HearMeWA Advisory Committee is to advise the AGO through HearMeWA implementation as the agency: 

  • Conducts outreach to increase program awareness among tip responders, youth and youth-serving organizations.
  • Reviews tip trend data and identify areas for improvement. 
  • Proposes possible solutions for challenges that arise regarding program utilization and tip responses. 
  • Develops an evaluation plan to assess program’s effectiveness and whether it is being implemented equitably across the state.

HearMeWA is a program for receiving and responding to tips from the public regarding risks or potential risks to the safety and well-being of youth. It is a holistic program that aims to meet the safety and behavioral health needs of youth by linking them to existing systems of support and offers a safe place for individuals to share concerns about youth that could be at risk for harming themselves or others. HearMeWA as well as the Advisory Committee strives to be antiracist, youth-centered, and trauma-informed.

The HearMeWA Advisory Committee meets quarterly on the second Wednesday of the month from 1pm – 2:30pm. To request language access services or accommodations, email the HearMeWA Team at InfoHearMeWA@atg.wa.gov. Please make your request at least 14 days in advance of the meeting to give us enough time to make the proper arrangements.
