Detailed Services

HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US:
Our trained staff and volunteers are here to listen and not judge. We can help brainstorm solutions and, if needed, connect you with resources that can help you take the next step. Most of the referrals we give are to low or no cost services.

LISTENING — HELPING TO COPE
We will listen without judgement. Many of our operators have been through similar situations and can relate.

BRAINSTORMING SOLUTIONS — ACTION PLANNING
We can talk with you about your issue, discuss your choices, and help you develop a plan of action.

LOW OR NO COST COUNSELORS AND OTHER COMMUNITY RESOURCES
We can give you information for shelters, confidential pregnancy information, or other community services. Our database has more than 2,000 listings of services throughout Texas.

FREE MESSAGING SERVICE FOR RUNAWAY YOUTH
For 30 years, we have offered a free message service so runaways can communicate with their parents or guardians if they don't want to talk with them directly. All calls are strictly confidential. Our goal is to promote communication between runaways and their families.

FREE RIDES HOME FOR RUNAWAY YOUTH
We can put youth in contact with "Operation Home Free," a free transportation service that gives youth a free ride if they have run away and are trying to get back home to a parent or guardian.
