Medicine).

Youth Safe Spaces
Suggested Caption:
Young people want to go “somewhere that’s safe, somewhere that they know they can get help, somewhere that they know they can rest, somewhere they know that they can eat without having to feel like they’re stuck in some kind of system or program,” says Lily Blake, Director of Operations at Restoration House.
It’s essential to support and create safe, comfortable environments for St. Louis young adults. Do you know of any safe spaces in your community?
