Act Together is a 12 bed facility for youth who have run away, are experiencing a family crisis, are the victims of abuse or neglect, or become homeless for other reasons. The maximum stay is normally 15 days, is voluntary and must be earned by an earnest effort to develop solutions using other Youth Focus and community resources. Referrals can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The shelter serves approximately 250 youths in a year.

Safe Place 336-274-5909
Across the country and in Guilford County, there are designed "Safe Places” where kids can go to get immediate help. The familiar black and yellow sign is a beacon for youth who are running away suffering abuse by a parent or a stranger, having alcohol or drugs related problems, experiencing depression or other conflicts.
The people of all these participating locations know how to access the free, confidential help by calling on trained staff from a Youth Focus emergency shelter. Over 250 kids have used Safe Place since it's inception.
