Reaching to Educate Adolescents about Choices and Healthy relationships (REACH) is a counseling and education program for adolescents ages 12 - 18 who may have witnessed domestic violence and are exhibiting controlling and abusive behaviors in their own relationships. The primary goal of REACH is to deter future abusive behavior. REACH is based on the widely acknowledged Duluth, Emerging Young Men, HERO Program and TACTICS Curriculums
How can REACH help?
Individual and small group services are provided for youth who have shown signs of controlling behaviors in their personal relationships. Through this program we hope to provide support and accountability for behavior ensuring they are better able to identify alternate ways to solve problems, express feelings, and communicate within their relationships in the future. In this program, you can expect the following:
A private space for you to share your experiences
Processing past experiences and how they are affecting current behavior
Explore the cycle of abuse
Identify characteristics of abusive behaviors
Learn ways to cope with difficult feelings
Discover strategies for expressing feelings in healthy ways
Understand characteristics of healthy relationships and how to practice them
