Licensed Safe Place Agencies

Supporting their journey to safety.

Licensed Transit Partner

Licensed TXT 4 HELP Partner

Licensed First Responder Partner

Licensed Safe Place agencies are youth service providers who serve as the doorway to a safety by operating the Safe Place program in their local community.

These agencies are responsible for obtaining licensure, training, and partnerships to establish the program to ensure youth have somewhere to turn.

The Safe Place transit model is a Safe Place approach where transit companies initiate the Safe Place program and take the lead in supporting collaborations/partnerships to provide Safe Place services.

Buses and/or trains are set up as mobile Safe Place sites where youth are informed about TXT 4 HELP and are connected to local resources.

Safe Place TXT 4 HELP partners exist in communities that do not have a traditional Safe Place program.

They are communities/ locations that can promote and utilize TXT 4 HELP as a way to respond to youth in crisis when “traditional” youth crisis agency services are not available.

The Safe Place first responder model represents a community partnership with local law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), and fire departments to bring Safe Place to a local community.

Police statons, EMS headquarters, and fire stations can be established as Safe Place sites in communities where there isn’t a traditional Safe Place program.

Read about Amaya’s Journey to Safety

Partnerships and contributions help young people like 15-year-old Amaya, who found help when she left home after escalating fights with her father. Scared and uncertain, she remembered a school presentation about NSPN’s Safe Place program. She used TXT

4 HELP to find the nearest Safe Place. A trained volunteer met her there and took her to a licensed Safe Place agency. Amaya and her family were connected to local services and she was able to safely return home.

Kids like Amaya need access to family resources.

Read about Josh’s Journey to Safety

13-year-old, Josh, accessed Safe Place via a fire station because he was experiencing suicidal thoughts after coming out to his parents. Safe Place was able to provide him with crisis and counseling services, as well as shelter for a few nights where he was able to get stabilized. Josh reported that the experience helped him feel valued and safe. If Josh had nowhere to turn for help, the situation may have very well taken a tragic turn. Safe Place provided a beacon of hope for an individual who was having a difficult time navigating his life, and who is now connected with resources to help him.

Kids like Josh are now homeless because of being kicked out of his home for being gay.

Give,

so kids like

Alexa have

Someplace To Go. Someone To Help.
