Reach For Youth, Inc.

Reach For Youth, Inc. Reach For Youth provides mental and behavioral health counseling for school-aged youth and their families.

Reach For Youth serves over 3,500 youth and their families each year in Central Indiana through quality mental health counseling and youth development programs. Addressing issues such as depression, grief, anger management and substance use, our team of qualified counselors develop curricula and facilitate counseling for over 800 families a year at our two offices. Reach For Youth also facilitates

Central Indiana's Teen Court program. Teen Court is an official diversion program for Marion and Johnson Counties, offering youthful first-time, non-violent offenders a second chance. Defendants who admit guilt may be offered the opportunity to have their case heard by a jury of their peers - young volunteers from across the community - rather than proceed through traditional juvenile court. The young jury asks questions and decides the consequences the defendant must complete for their offense. Once the consequences are completed successfully, the youth walks away with a clean record.

There's something special about watching young people rise. 🌟

We're proud to celebrate the youth from Young Men Inc who completed the Reach For Youth Leadership Series. This summer, they're taking on a new role — helping facilitate our Empower YOUth program and pouring into their peers.

To each of you: thank you for showing up, doing the work, and leading the way. We can't wait to see you in action. 👏

🌄 Trees don't have deadlines. The sky doesn't check email. The wind isn't worried about what anyone thinks. 🍃

Research is clear: time outside lowers stress, lifts mood, and resets the nervous system. 🌞 You don't need a mountain — a backyard, a sidewalk, or a city park will do just fine.

🚶 Step outside today, even for five minutes. Encourage your young person to come along. Notice one thing. Take a breath.

💬 If stress feels bigger than a walk can fix, that's okay too. Reach For Youth offers counseling for youth ages 7–18 and their families.

🩺 If your child broke their arm, you'd see a doctor. If they had a fever for a week, you'd make an appointment. Their mental health deserves the same kind of care — without shame, without delay, without question. 💛

As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, here's our biggest takeaway: 💬 therapy isn't a last resort. It's healthcare. It's normal. It's brave. ✨

Thank you for spending May with us. 🌸 More good days are ahead — and we're better when we walk toward them together.

💬 Reach For Youth offers counseling, school-based services, and youth advocacy programs for kids and teens ages 7–18 and their families across Central Indiana.

🎒 Some friendships, habits, schedules, and stories we tell ourselves were built for a different version of us — and that's okay.

Letting go isn't giving up. It's making room. 🌱
✨ Room for healthier friendships
✨ Room for new interests
✨ Room for who you're becoming

For kids and teens especially, growing up means outgrowing things. That can be sad and freeing all at once. 💛

🌟 What's one thing your young person is ready to release this season?

💬 Reach For Youth walks alongside youth ages 7–18 (and their families) through transitions of every kind — friend changes, school changes, life changes.

💭 Your thoughts are not facts. They're not commands. They're not the final word on who you are.

When a hard thought shows up — "I'm not enough," "I can't do this," "Nobody understands" — try this: 🛑 pause, name it, and ask, "Is this true?" Most of the time, the answer is no.

You are the one watching the thoughts go by. That means you're more powerful than they are. 💪✨

This is one of the first skills we teach the kids and teens in our programs — and it changes lives. 💛

💬 Reach For Youth helps youth ages 7–18 work through hard thoughts with caring counselors who get it.

🚴 Tomorrow is National Ride Your Bike to Work Day! 🚴‍♀️

Dust off the helmet, pump up those tires, and take the scenic route to the office on Wednesday, May 20. 🌞

Biking to work is a win on every level:
✅ A great way to start the day with movement
✅ Good for your heart AND your mind 🧠💛
✅ One small step toward more good days

A few quick reminders before you roll out:
🚦 Follow the rules of the road
🪖 Wear your helmet
💧 Stay hydrated
😎 And most of all — have fun getting to work!

It's a perfect fit with Mental Health Awareness Month — fresh air, sunshine, and movement do wonders for our well-being. 🌿✨

Whether you're pedaling solo, with coworkers, or alongside your kids on their way to school, we'd love to see it! 📸 Tag us in your bike-to-work pics.

💧 Quick check-in for your young person: when did they last drink some water?

It sounds too simple, but hydration directly impacts mood, focus, and energy. 🧠 Even mild dehydration can amplify anxiety, irritability, and tiredness — and kids and teens are especially prone to forgetting.

Caring for the mind starts with caring for the body. 💛

🥤 Go grab a glass — we'll wait.

👟 You don't need a five-year plan. You don't need to know what's next. You just need the next step.

So many young people — especially tweens and teens — feel pressure to have it all figured out. What grade. What sport. What college. What future. 😮‍💨

But mental wellness lives in the present moment. ✨ Breathe here. Decide here. Take the next step here.

The staircase will still be there tomorrow. 🪜

💬 Reach For Youth supports young people ages 7–18 who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Our counselors meet kids and teens exactly where they are.

🌿 Self-care isn't bubble baths and spa days (unless you want it to be 🛁). For kids and teens, it's:

💧 Drinking water
🛌 Going to bed on time
🙅 Saying no when something feels like too much
🤝 Asking for help when things feel heavy

When young people learn to take care of themselves early, they show up better at school, at home, and with friends. That's not selfish — that's essential. 💛

🌟 What's one small act of self-care your young person can give themselves today?

💬 Reach For Youth helps youth ages 7–18 build healthy routines and coping skills that last a lifetime.
