What Our Community Says

Across the country, youth- and family-serving professionals turn to NSP for connection, practical support, shared learning, and guidance. Their experiences demonstrate how strong partnerships help organizations build capacity, strengthen services, and better support young people and families.

Support That Strengthens Professionals

“When you support youth care workers, you support youth—it’s that simple.”

“NSPN helps us shift from despair to direction—and reminds us we’re not in this alone.”

“This is more than a place for youth in crisis, it’s a safe space for the people who serve them too.”

“NSPN has created a culture that is always willing to help in whatever way possible. From idea sharing to working with law enforcement, NSPN staff and Safe Place Coordinators are always willing to lend an ear and respond.”

Resources That Strengthen Organizations

“The training provided, both e-learning and on-site, is a valuable resource to our programs and staff. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The technical assistance for implementation after the training was also an incredible resource for our staff.”

“We did get both BCP and SOP. We are thrilled. Thank you to NSPN for your help with calls, reviews, webinars, and support.”

“Safe Harbor was awarded Basic Center and Transitional Living. This is huge for our community. Thank you for the review assistance and support!”

“Our agency has been able to utilize training resources for all staff through NSPN’s online learning and bring the knowledge back to our programs.”

Partnerships That Strengthens Communities

“There’s no national blueprint like this. National Safe Place ties us together across the country.”

“Our affiliation with NSPN has been more than a membership, it has been a partnership as we work together to address the needs of runaway and homeless youth.”

“Safe Place places a resource directly in the hands of youth to access help on their own—without having to be part of the system. With support from NSPN, this program has transformed safety in our community.”

“Safe Place is prevention and intervention. It’s where the story of safety starts.”
