Educators & Students
One in seven children will run away from home before the age of 18. In a classroom of 35 that number represents 14% of your students. It's a frightening statistic. What would you do if a child told you he wanted to run away from home? Do you know how to help prevent runaway behavior? Do you know how to respond to a child who has already run away?

Preventing runaway behavior means understanding the dynamics of what makes kids leave home. Often teachers are able to identify problems with youth before anyone else. That's why, in addition to crisis intervention, we are also committed to prevention and education.

Through our Kids Call and Runaway Prevention Programs, we are available to support your classroom efforts.
