Talk Don't Walk

 

Information for Parents

If you are concerned about your child or teenager running away from home or they have already run away from home, then we can help you.

When somebody is unhappy and feels the need to run away it can be emotionally and physically draining for those who care about them. It is therefore, really important that you take care of yourself and make time to get the right support and advice.

The Talk Don't Walk project can offer this. Our unique approach means that the whole family can get involved and work together to find solutions to any issues that may have arisen

Did you know...

Over 100,000 young people run away from home or care every year.
Although most young people who run away from home are found and returned, a few remain at high risk of repeatedly running away for some time afterwards. This means that any attempt, however minor it seems to be, should be taken seriously.

Donations Help make a difference

£10 a month can make a real difference
It could pay for a young run away to receive a session from a qualified counsellor or could allow us to answer a call from a distressed parent and give them vital help and support to ensure that their child stays safe.
