Why Should I Seek Help from Project Safe Place?
More than 3,000 youth leave home every day, often to escape troubling, painful or stressful circumstances at home, at school or with friends.
These youth are desperately seeking immediate relief and may think that running away is their only option. Youth ages 7 to 17 that are having trouble at home, facing a crisis,or who may be in danger can seek help through Safe Place. Some examples of why youth seek help from Safe Place include:
Drug or alcohol problems within their family
To escape physical/sexual abuse or neglect when being stalked or threatened
If they are locked out of the house
When they are without a place to call home
How Can I Get Help?
