No. We know some youth trying to find help may be experiencing abuse by guardians or other adults in their lives, so we want them to feel safe asking for help. You get to decide what information you share with usâincluding your name and your ageâwhen reaching out. Our advocates will actively work with you to identify safe adults in your life, and other community resources to help keep you safe.
We understand people may not wish to share very much information with us. You can share as much or as little with us as you’d like.
