Runaways & Missing Children

You have left home. You may be tired, scared or hungry. You want to go home and work things out, but you don't have any money or any way to get home. Thousands of teens have been in your shoes. How did they get home? Through our Home Free program, done in collaboration with Greyhound Lines, Inc., more than 10,000 youth have been reunited with their families, free of charge, since the program's inception. The first step to getting Home Free is calling 1-800-RUNAWAY.



Call 1-800-RUNAWAY if you are a teenager who is thinking of running from home, if you have a friend who has run and is looking for help, or if you are a runaway ready to go home through our

    The American Counseling Association
    recommends 5 ways to help with coping AFTER a crisis situation:


    1.Recognize your own feelings about the situation and talk to others about your fears. Know that these feelings are a normal response to an abnormal situation.

    2.Be willing to listen to family and friends who have been affected and encourage them to seek counseling if necessary.

    3.Be patient with people; fuses are short when dealing with crises and others may be feeling as much stress as you.

    4.Recognize normal crises reactions, such as sleep disturbances and nightmares, withdrawal, reverting to childhood behaviors and trouble focusing on work or school.

    5.Take time with your children, spouse, life partner, friends and co-workers to do something you enjoy.
