We're Safe Place and we want to help.

When teens find themselves in crisis or need a place to stay, they should know how and where to get help. Our nation's young people deserve safety and shelter, and many youth feel they don't have either. Thanks to Safe Place, immediate help is never too far away.

Safe Place provides access to immediate help and supportive resources for youth in need. As a community initiative, the program designates schools, fire stations, libraries, and other youth-friendly organizations as Safe Place locations, which display the yellow and black sign.

Safe Place locations extend the doors of the local youth service agency or shelter to support teens in crisis situations, creating a safety net for youth.

Will you Support their Journey to Safety?

Right now, in your community, there are youth, like Amaya, who desperately need your help accessing safety. Prior to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), Safe Place® provided a safety net for youth who were dealing with bullying, suicidal thoughts, homelessness, abuse, and neglect. Today, due to COVID-19, families are experiencing intensified containment measures and children are at a heightened risk of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and domestic violence. Situations like this can easily leave a young person needing someone to talk to - or a young person needing a safe place to go. There are many young people who have sought out safety from Safe Place. You can read about their "Journey to Safety" here.Your monetary contribution will help provide access to safety for youth in your community. Are you willing to help?

Connect with others at Safe Place Connect!

Safe Place Connect is a community forum where licensed Safe Place agencies and sites can discuss topics of interest, share resources, and connect to access a strong network of support. Log in now through the Support Center to join a discussion!

Where did you learn about Safe Place?

We'd love to hear how you learned about Safe Place. Participate in this Safe Place poll and see how the news is spreading to others across the country.

Is your community safe for young people?

We can't deny our world is growing. With growth comes increased opportunity, such as technology (both platform and skill), larger communities, and creative new ways to make our world easier and more convenient. However, these new opportunities and ways of living also increase the risk of unsafe situations and environments for young people. Technology provides a platform to make bullying and stalking easier. Larger communities and faster paced life-styles can create stress on families - even increasing the potential for drug and alcohol abuse. As we continue to open ourselves up to what the world has to offer, youth continue to be faced with more and increasingly difficult challenges. It's a critical time to ensure every young person has someplace to go and someone to help. Help make sure youth in your community aren't facing these challenges alone. Make your community a Safe Place community. Learn more today.

The Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services is committed to New Jersey's consumer constituency and provides information and resources that are helpful for Wellness and Recovery for individuals living with mental illness.

The Statewide Consumer Advisory Committee (SCAC) is a diverse group of emerging leaders throughout the state who are experiencing recovery in their own lives. They are committed to having open, honest and compelling discussions with the leadership of the Division of Mental Health & Addiction Services (DMHAS) around what a recovery and wellness-oriented system is about and what it is not. SCAC has been greatly instrumental in working with the Division on many aspects of the Transformation including focus groups to identify outcomes and other elements of service delivery.

SCAC members attend the monthly meetings facilitated, by the DMHAS Special Assistant Consumer Affairs, because they have a genuine interest in learning about the current happenings that impact service delivery at the DMHAS as well as agencies providing housing, employment, entitlements, health care and other types of supports to consumers. The members ask questions about how Division funding is allocated; how, why and or whom new services are developed; and what new types of services and supports they would like the Division to fund and support in their local communities. Examples of these include: hospital-based self-help centers; peer recovery warm-lines; and peer-operated respite centers.

Members of the DMHAS Management Team are frequent visitors to the SCAC meetings where they provide updates and listen to concerns, issues and ideas of consumers who are vested in transforming our mental health system.
