Safe Place’s black and yellow signs have become this city’s most recognizable symbol of help for teens. They represent security, support and guidance for teens who often have no place else to turn. Over 340 locations around the Louisville area have partnered with us to display our signs, making our services easily available to any teen that needs help.
It’s More Than Just a Sign:
- You can come see us – corner of Eastern Parkway and Crittenden Drive, right next to the Denny’s in the 2 story brick building – open 24 hours, ring the bell if it’s after 5:00pm.
- Teens can go to any business, TARC bus or community center displaying the Safe Place sign, tell an employee there that you need Safe Place, and the site will contact a Shelter House staff member.
- Within 30 to 40 minutes a trained volunteer will arrive and take you to YMCA Safe Place Services – Shelter House, where you will receive immediate help.
