November is National Runaway Prevention Month (NRPM), a public awareness campaign designed to educate the public about the experiences of runaway and homeless youth. This month is a time for individuals, organizations, and communities to come together, share resources, and work to end youth homelessness. Each year, Larkin Street participates in this movement through a social media campaign to raise awareness for young people experiencing homelessness who often remain invisible.
In addition to increasing awareness, NRPM is an opportunity to spotlight the many resources available to youth in crisis across the country. One of the campaign’s goals is to make these resources more accessible and better known to young people who have run away or are experiencing homelessness.
To learn more about NRPM, visit their website here: National Runaway Prevention Month (NRPM). You can also follow us on social media to stay updated on how we are supporting runaway youth this month.
