We Respond With Safety, Compassion, and Action.
Our Mission
To serve as a 24/7 frontline lifeline for juveniles experiencing sexual exploitation, trafficking, or mental health crises — intervening with safety, trauma-informed care, and restoration pathways. We believe that every youth in crisis deserves immediate, compassionate, and competent response — not shame, rejection, or abandonment.
We secure the youth’s immediate safety — removing them from danger, de-escalating emotional distress, and addressing urgent physical or medical needs. Our first priority is to bring calm to crisis.
STABILIZE
We conduct a rapid triage to determine the youth’s mental, emotional, and physical condition. This includes screening for trauma, exploitation, self-harm risk, and needed protective actions. Every decision centers on dignity and safety.
ASSESS
We ensure the youth is linked to the right care, including safe housing, medical services, counseling, and trusted advocates. Our goal is to begin restoration — not just rescue — within hours of arrival.

Triage & Rapid Response Framework
“Answer the Call — Because Every Second Counts”
Every night across Texas, youth in crisis face moments that decide their future — a runaway girl sleeping on the street, a boy trapped in exploitation, or a teen experiencing a mental health break with no safe place to go.
M.A.Z.E. 1st Responders is a 24/7 crisis team that shows up when no one else does.We respond — not tomorrow, not next week — but now.
