Huckleberry House
(614) 294-5553
The Crisis Program is a voluntary, 24-hour crisis intervention program that empowers youth to make responsible decisions when faced with difficult situations. This includes a 24-hour crisis shelter and crisis hotline (614-294-5553). Licensed and dedicated crisis counselors work with youth and their families to provide crisis intervention, while developing a plan for reconciliation. The average length of stay is three to five days.
Project Safe Place is a national youth outreach program that educates young people about the dangers of running away. Safe Place creates a network of public sites that display the distinctive yellow and black Safe Place sign. A youth in crisis walks into a designated Safe Place site and tells an employee that they need Safe Place help. The employee will notify the local Safe Place contact, which is the Huckleberry House for Franklin County. A Huckleberry House staff person will then go to the Safe Place site and assess how we can help the youth work towards turning their crisis situation into an opportunity.
Here in Columbus, Ohio the designated Safe Place sites are Kroger stores (ones that are open 24 hours), While Castle restaurants and local area fire stations. So what is Safe Place? The staff at Huckleberry House likes to call it the "front porch" to our house and the beginning of what we do here.
