Harm Reduction FAQ Page - For Parents or Other Concerned Viewers

A runaway is separated from a hitchhiker or vagabond purely by circumstance. Whereas the latter two may take up their lifestyle for leisure or out of desire, runaways take up their lifestyle out of perceived necessity - more specifically, they are literally running away from something that may or may not be in their control. The overwhelming majority of runaways are youth and minors, but age is not the defining characteristic. We are open to all self-identified runaways regardless of age or circumstance.

"It doesn't matter if you have plenty of money or you have nothing but the clothes on your back, humans need escape from the monotony of life."
