OUTREACH # The place

» A safe space

» A non-threatening environment—not a clinic, nor an office, nor agency—that feels more like a home with a spacious, welcoming and peaceful lounge serving as “a cafe” with books, reading materials, and internet for work and other resources that help to connect and to de-stress—where suffering young people can feel safe sharing their needs and seeking help.

»  Strategically situated in areas with high concentration of youth

»  Managed by trained staff/volunteers who welcome and accompany every person.
