Safe Place provides help to youth anywhere in the community and can connect families to resources to help them. Early intervention in a family situation can often lead to more lasting solutions and help. When a youth knows that there is a place to turn when things get rough, more serious problems may be prevented such as running away, drugs and alcohol use or tragically suicide. We want youth to know not to run away but to run for help. Safe Place can be that help.
Negative reinforcement is the norm.
You are made to feel unwanted, unneeded and unworthy of love. A black cloud seems to follow you wherever you go. No matter what, it never totally goes away. Youth are the hope for our future. If we can help eliminate their fears, they will see a brighter future so they can celebrate life, hop and optimal health.
