Reach For Youth, Inc.

10/10/2026

Today is World Mental Health Day, and it’s a good reminder of why we do what we do every single day. 💙

When a young person gets the support they need, the whole family feels it. Mental health care for kids and their families is essential. It’s what helps them heal, grow, and thrive. That’s the heart of Reach For Youth, and it’s been that way since 1974.

Want to see the difference we’re making right here in our community? Join us for our Rise and Shine Breakfast, where you’ll hear how Reach For Youth has impacted the families you live and work alongside, and how you can help us do even more.

Come hungry and bring a friend. Together we can make a real difference for youth and families.

With support from the The Indianapolis Foundation , Reach For Youth will expand access to mental health counseling and restorative justice services for youth and families in Indianapolis. This work will help young people heal from trauma, repair harm, and build the skills they need to reach their full potential.

We're so grateful to the Indianapolis Foundation for their commitment to health equity and for standing with the young people in our city. 💙

We can't do this work alone, and honestly, we wouldn't want to. 💙

This weekend, Reach For Youth teamed up with several of our amazing community partners to host an information booth at the Franklin Fall Festival. Together we shared resources, answered questions, and talked with families about the simple ways every one of us can support the youth in our community.

The best part? Seeing so many neighbors stop by, ask questions, and walk away with ideas for how they can make a difference. When agencies work together, families get connected to the help they need faster, and that's what it's all about.

A huge thank you to Turning Point, Upstream, Girls Inc, Beloved Warriors, Gateway, and Assist.. and of course those who stopped by to say hello!

💙 THANK YOU, FedEx & United Way of Johnson County, Indiana 💙

Order in the (teen) court! ⚖️

Tonight our Youth Advisory Council and other volunteers teamed up with Hendricks County probation officers for a mock trial downtown. We had fun characters, twisty storylines, and real lessons in how the justice system works. Restorative Justice, brought to life. 🙌
