Safe Places

The Safe Place program brings together businesses and volunteers to provide immediate help and safety to young people facing abuse, neglect, bullying or other crisis situations. It raises awareness of the Safe Place as an immediate option of youth in crisis.

Hawaii state government and youth organizations are working together to establish the Safe Place program here in Hawaii. In the meantime, help is still available…see resources below to help you or someone you know get help when needed:
