Seton Youth Shelters' Safe Place Program (Safe Place Hampton Roads)
Share
How does it work? A Youth in crisis goes to a Safe Place Site and asks an employee for Safe Place help. Interested in Sponsoring a Safe Place Site?
This is the official Seton Youth Shelters’ Safe Place Program page.Please note that this page is not monitored 24/7.For immediate help please call Seton Youth Shelters at 757-498-HELP. Seton Youth Shelters is a National Safe Place
Licensed agency, providing youth in crisis immediate access to help through a network of area sites sustained by qualified agencies, trained volunteers, and b
usinesses. The employee settles the Youth in a quiet, comfortable area. The employee then calls Seton Youth Shelters Hotline [498-HELP] and requests an Emergency Response Team. The Shelter Staff will talk with the Youth, assemble an Emergency Response Team and call the Safe Place Site back to identify the members and estimated time of arrival. The Emergency Response Team normally arrives at the Safe Place Site within 60 minutes of the crisis call, and will transport the Youth to Seton Youth Shelters. Once at the Shelter, the Youth will meet with a counselor. The counselor will help the Youth in resolving the crisis and facilitate a safe return home. Hampton Roads Safe Place Sites:
