Safe Place (A Place for Youth in Crisis to Stay)

For Youth...Someplace To Go. Someone To Help.

Safe Place is a national youth outreach and prevention program for young people under the age of 18 (up to 21 years of age in some communities) in need of immediate help and safety. As a collaborative community prevention initiative, Safe Place designates businesses and organizations as Safe Place locations, making help readily available to youth in communities across the country. Safe Place locations include libraries, YMCAs, fire stations, public buses, businesses, and social service facilities.

"TXT 4 HELP" is a nationwide, 24-hour text-for-support service for teens in crisis

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.

Safe Place is committed to providing opportunities for safety to all youth nationwide.
