In addition to crisis counseling
services, YSB operates Project Safe Place of Monroe, Greene, and Owen Counties, a
community-wide outreach service for runaways and at-risk youth in crisis
situations. Throughout Monroe, Greene, and Owen Counties, dozens of businesses
and community locations have volunteered to be part of the Safe Place
Network. These Safe Places are identified by the
bright yellow Safe Place logo.
A youth can enter a Safe Place at any time and ask for help. Within a few
minutes a trained volunteer arrives to meet the youth and assist in
defusing the crisis. In most cases, the volunteer brings the youth to the
Youth Services Bureau shelter where staff welcome the youth and provide
for his or her immediate needs--food, warmth, rest, etc. Together they
begin to work toward a solution. Click here for a list of Safe Place sites in Greene County. Click here for a list of Safe Place sites in Owen County.
