November is National Runaway Prevention Month (NRPM)!

Did you know….
  • 32% of runaway and homeless youth have attempted suicide at some point in their lives.
  • Over 50% of youth in shelters and on the streets reported that their parents either told them to leave or knew they were leaving but did not care.

NRPM is co-sponsored each year by the National Runaway Switchboard and the National Network for Youth.  Youth Connections partners with NRPRM to connect runaway youth with our Safe Place and Host Homes temporary shelter program.  Read the rest of the article here.

On November 1st the National Runaway Switchboard (NRS) presented findings from the Runaway Youth Longitudinal Study, a study spanning 15 years that examines the characteristics of youth who run away from home and the long-term impacts of runaway behavior on key outcomes in adulthood.
