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.
