We want you to feel safe, and be safe
You deserve to feel safe in the world. People should treat you with respect, be kind and polite to you. They should also listen to you, and act on what you are saying.
It’s important that if you don’t feel respected, or don’t feel safe with a Y staff member, volunteer or other person at the Y, that you report that to us. We want to make sure you are safe, and we can help take action to make sure you get the support you need.
