Will You Help Them on Their Journey to Safety?

Right now, in your community, there are youth who are dealing with bullying, suicidal thoughts, homelessness, abuse, and neglect. These young people need your help accessing safety. These are youth like Amaya, who left home in the midst of a global pandemic because of fights with her father. Or Zander, who was contemplating suicide after the death of his mother. When these youth felt like there was nowhere else to turn, Safe Place® and TXT 4 HELP were able to connect them with resources and provide access to safety.

The Journey to Safety campaign seeks to increase support of Safe Place® so young people like Amaya and Zander know that there is somewhere to turn when they are experiencing bullying, suicidal thoughts, homelessness, abuse, and neglect. The Safe Place sign is the universal symbol of safety. All youth in crisis can access help when going to a Safe Place or utilizing TXT 4 HELP. National Safe Place Network (NSPN) will be sharing the stories of various youth on their own journeys to safety throughout the year on our Facebook and Twitter pages. You can read more about the Journey to Safety campaign here, and give to support young people’s access to safety here.
