Safe Place Txt4help PSA

National Safe Place is launching a new project to help teens connect to a Safe Place location. The TXT 4 Help project uses technology to quickly offer teens information about the closest location where they can get immediate help and safety.

Here is how it works:

Youth in crisis can text the word SAFE and their current location to the number 69866 and they will receive an address of the nearest Safe Place site and contact number for the local youth shelter. In cities that don't have a Safe Place program, the youth will receive the name and number of the youth shelter or, if there is no local shelter, a national-hotline number.
