National Runaway Safeline

The National Runaway Safeline (NRS) is a confidential support service for young people in crisis, especially those contemplating leaving home or in unsafe situations. It offers a 24/7 helpline where youth can speak with trained counselors who provide guidance, resources, and support. The NRS also helps connect teens to local shelters, food, and emergency services if needed. Additionally, it raises awareness about youth homelessness and advocates for the rights and well-being of runaway and homeless youth. The overarching goal is to ensure that young people have a safe place to turn during difficult times.
