REACH PROGRAM
REACH is a lifespan program that serves children and adults across the state.
The REACH program is designed to meet the crisis support needs of individuals who have a developmental disability and are experiencing crisis events that put them at risk for homelessness, incarceration, hospitalization, and/or danger to self or others. REACH programs offer an additional layer of support to emergency services, the state hospital system, and caregivers who work most closely with individuals with a developmental disability (DD).
Who is eligible for REACH services?
Individuals must have a documented intellectual and/or developmental disability AND co-occurring mental illness and/or significant behavioral challenges.
