If you are concerned about your child or teenager running away from home or they have already run away from home.
- Listen to what they say, don't be judgmental. Say that you love them, no matter what. Give them a hug! Raise their self-esteem.
- If they won't talk to you, maybe they would talk to a friend or sibling, or perhaps write down how they feel. Re-assure them that this happens to others.
- Encourage them to get help from others, such as a GP or the Talk, Don’t..Walk project. Remind them that confidentiality is taken seriously.
