If you or someone you know is considering running away from home, or have been kicked out or run away from home, call 1-800-RUNAWAY to talk with a crisis worker to help you, confidentially and without judgment.
Sometimes, just talking about your plans with a third party can be really helpful. If you’re seriously considering running away, going over what you’re thinking, and your reasons for leaving home with our hotline can help you work through the problem. Crisis workers at the National Runaway Switchboard can also connect you to services near where you are that can help you directly.
If your child has run away from home or has gone missing, we can assist you with how to go about finding your child and connect you to services that can notify the public of your child’s missing status.
Our hotline has crisis workers on the line 24/7.
