The "safe place" logo promoted by National Safe Place. It appears in various locales throughout the United States for children and adolescents in need of refuge from crisis situations.
National Safe Place is a non-profit organization based out of Louisville, Kentucky. It originated in 1983 from an initiative known as "Project Safe Place",[1] established by a short-term residential and counseling center for youth ages 13 to 17.[2] The organization is intended to provide nationwide support with a "safe haven" to children and adolescents who are "at risk" or in crisis situations.[3] The purpose is to both defuse a potential crisis situation, as well as provide immediate counsel and support so that the child in crisis may be directed to an appropriate shelter or accredited care facility.
