National Runaway Switchboard

On Thursday March 18th we had a speaker in class that have talked about National Runaway Switchboard . Their mission is to help keep United States runaways at risk youth safe and keep them of the streets. National Runaway Switchboard is just a referring program, they are there to talk to you and offer you help , like finding  safe place to sleep. Their main point is for the runaway to open open to them, to find out as much information as possible and to try to calm them down.

The speaker was pretty interesting when she was presenting the material. She had us do couple of different worksheets that i thought were also interesting and helpful to understand some stuff better. She also showed as an old movie that represents National Runaway Switchboard, it was a bit out dated but was still interesting to see how this kids are trying to figure out a way to survive on the streets.
