We are proud to be a Safe Place, 💙

Every young person deserves a safe place to turn when they need help.

Safe Place provides immediate access to safety and support for youth facing challenges such as family conflict, homelessness, abuse, neglect, or other crises. Look for the yellow and black Safe Place sign at participating locations in your community.

When a young person reaches out, they don't have to face their situation alone.

📍 Find a Safe Place location near you or learn more about the program at https://www.nationalsafeplace.org.
