Resiliency, Education, and Advocacy for Community Health (REACH)

Resiliency, Education, and Advocacy for Community Health (REACH) works with children and youth ages 0-17 who have been exposed to violence in their home, school, and/or community. REACH proposes a collaborative initiative to enhance prevention and support services.

Efforts include:

  • Community Education
  • Case Management and Support Services
  • Peer Mediation
Community Education

Community education features violence prevention trainings and presentations for schools, community organizations, families,
and others.

To learn more about the trainings available and to schedule a training, contact YouthDevelopment@LUK.org or call 800-579-0000.
Case Management and Support Services

Case Managers will meet with youth weekly
wherever they are: school, afterschool program, community, home, and/or virtually. Case managers will work with youth on goal setting that caters to the youth’s needs. Intervention and support services will include home visits, before and after school youth support groups, and simultaneous parent/caregiver groups while youth participate in activity groups.

Peer Mediation

Peers Making Peace (PMP) is a peer mediation program designed to address student conflicts as they arise, preventing harmful conflict escalation. Schools that have implemented this program have experienced decreases in discipline referrals, assaults, and expulsions.
