The Safely Home Campaign is a nationwide movement that advocates for growing community capacity to support all youth and young adults to live safely at home with their families and in their home communities and promotes reducing and preventing unnecessary out-of-home placements. Research shows that when young people are safely supported in their homes and in their communities they are more likely to reach their full potential as healthy, well-rounded, and engaged members of our society.
The overarching objective is for young people (ages 0-25) at risk of being removed from their homes and separated from their families to stay safely home with the supports and resources they need to build cognitive, emotional, physical, and social well-being. This Campaign addresses these needs with practical, community-based approaches for child welfare, juvenile justice and behavioral health systems.
