The National Runaway Switchboard came into our class and the lady was very informative with the things she discussed. This organization or program is open to teenagers who want or have thoughts about exiting their homes. The people that work there do not tell them what to do but inform them that there are other options than running away. Many of them also call them for advice or to vent. It is a Chicago based program that provides counseling and so much more to youth. It is government funded and only a small staff is given and the rest are volunteers.
I am really happy to hear that there is such an organization out there for young kids. There are many individuals that may need to hear someone else's advice besides their family and loved ones. This program I'm sure has help hundreds of thousands of kids not getting into trouble.
