Workshop Description:

An alarming number of youth run away from home, foster homes, group homes, etc. which can place them in extreme danger. While the safest option for youth would be to not run away, many still do. It’s important for youth serving providers to incorporate harm reduction principles; unfortunately, telling youth not to run away doesn’t work.

In this training, participants will learn the reasons why youth run away and the harm reduction strategies for youth who run away to help increase their safety.
