RUNAWAY HOTLINE | NATIONAL RUNAWAY SAFELINE

Offers free services to young people with limited or no access to money, 24/7 support via email, phone, live chat and text. NRS provides free services to youth in crisis aged 12 to 21. We hear from young people who are at home and simply need somewhere to turn for advice, and also we connect with youth who have runaway or were kicked out of their home and are now couch surfing, living in their car or staying in shelters or on the street. If you are still unsure about how we might be able to help, contact us and we can refer you to another service, if needed. Through our extensive, nationwide network of organizations and services, we are able to find open shelters, mental health services, food pantries, protection from human traffickers and more.
