Project Safe Place

Catholic Charities is an official Safe Place for youth. Safe Place is a network of “safe places” in the community designed to help young people (12-19 years of age) in crisis.

Other Safe Place locations included fire stations, public schools, YMCAs, parks and recreation centers, public transit buses, and other local businesses. These locations display the Safe Place logo, which identifies them as safe places for any young people in crisis requesting help.

Personnel at the Safe Place sites are trained on appropriate ways to respond to requests for help and have access to the agency’s 24-hour crisis phone line to engage professional staff to assess and respond to the need.
