The REACH Institute is dedicated to ensuring that the most effective, scientifically proven mental health care reaches all children and families.
Currently 1 in 5 children experience mental health issues. Only 20% of those get the help they need.
Families’ health insurance provides limited or no coverage for mental health treatment.
There aren’t nearly enough pediatric psychiatrists and psychologists, especially in low-income and rural areas.
Schools don’t know how to identify or address mental health issues.
Parents are often overwhelmed by the mental health system.
The problem is even worse in underprivileged communities. Mental health issues are rampant, but access to mental health care is even more limited.
That’s where The REACH Institute comes in. We have been working to improve children’s mental health since 2006. We train primary care providers, therapists, and other professionals to diagnose and treat mental health issues.
More trained providers means better access to mental health care for hundreds of thousands of suffering children and teens.
