Count Me! Santa Clara County's Homeless Youth

School Personnel Conversations Starters with a Couch Surfer

- I heard you are sleeping on your friend’s couch would you like to
tell me more about it? I want to help if I can.
- Do you feel comfortable talking to me about it? Or is there anyone
else you would feel comfortable talking to about this.?
- Why do you like being at that house?
- Do your parents know where you are sleeping?
- Do you feel safe at the place you are staying at?
