Act 130, recently signed into law, establishes the Safe Spaces for Youth Pilot Program under the Department of Human Services.

“At 2 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, teenagers at the Residential Youth Services and Empowerment program have just finished their music therapy class. Inside the mint-green building, young people cook a late lunch over the stove and relax on overstuffed couches.
