Project Reach Out works to improve the network of support to youth and their families through confidential and voluntary crisis intervention referral services. Each year, teens run away for a variety of reasons that may include unresolved conflict, lack of communication, and differences over roles, rules, and expectations.
Project Reach Out provides support during challenging times by offering compassionate crisis intervention and personalized assistance for youth and their families. Our program works to reunite youth with their families when appropriate, support the resolution of family conflicts through mediation and related services, and strength family relationships. We promote stability by helping youth establish safe living environments and make positive, informed decisions in a respectful, non-judgmental space. For more information:
