Runaway Youth

Runaway youth are young individuals who leave their homes or are forced to leave, often due to difficult family situations, abuse, neglect, or personal crises. They may seek independence, escape harm, or find a better environment. While some leave temporarily, others may remain on the streets for extended periods, facing risks like homelessness, exploitation, and health issues. Addressing runaway youth involves understanding their vulnerabilities, providing support and safety, and helping them reconnect with families or access resources for stability and well-being.
