About Us

We at REACH believe that mental health consumers have artificial limitations placed on them from society that inhibits their personal growth and development. Those with mental health issues have been kept in the proverbial “closet” for too long. It is time for all to see the light and participate in the “outing” of those affected by mental illness.

The REACH program believes that in the population of mental health consumers there is tremendous untapped creative potential. Human development takes place when education and application are combined. On-going actions, efforts and positive attitudes are necessary to maintain higher achievement levels and life satisfaction.

We believe that everyone has some innate talent or gift that can be awakened with gentle encouragement and support. We see those with mental health issues (mental health consumers) as people that often display great abilities and creativity. Unfortunately, their talents are often overlooked and replaced by some version of societal or self stigma.

We are convinced that given the right environment and support that mental health consumers can creatively achieve and contribute to society in positive ways. This is a program that promotes including consumers in the mainstream of society while encouraging society to claim them. The REACH program is designed to teach achievement & motivational techniques and goal setting tools.

We provide a forum for mental health consumers to realize and develop greater possibilities for their lives. With support and guidance it is possible to channel creative potential, to experience the fulfillment of dreams, and to live a meaningful and productive life.
