For Young People
If you’ve experienced violence or a crime, you can talk with Youthworks about what happened and what you need now. That might include sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, abuse, stalking, trafficking, or another crime that affected you. Support can include safety planning, transportation, basic needs, counseling, medical or legal resources, help with school, advocacy, and navigating services or systems. You get a say in what support looks like. We’ll listen, explain the options available to you, and focus on the things that matter most to you. Call, email, or message Youthworks to connect with someone and learn what support is available.
