Description
Safe Place is a youth outreach program that connects businesses and volunteers to provide help and safety to youth facing abuse, neglect, bullying, serious family struggles, homelessness and more. The goal of Safe Place is to offer immediate help to any youth in crisis. 

TXT 4 HELP is a nationwide, 24-hour text-for-support service for teens in crisis.
TXT 4 HELP counselors can provide support via text, and can offer additional suggestions for immediate help regardless of where you are. 

Here’s how it works:
  • Text the word “safe” and your current location (address, city, state) to 4HELP (44357).
  • Within seconds, you will receive a message with the closest Safe Place site and phone number for the local youth agency.
  • For immediate help, reply with “2chat” to text interactively with a trained counselor.
