Community Activities
Our community activities for young children encourage learning through play and new experiences. These programs - ACT, Power UP!, Galaxy, Camp Booth and more - help children develop social skills, learn positive habits, create friendships and build confidence.

Programs range from individual and family treatments to specialized support groups.
REACH TEAM
Witnessing gun violence is a traumatic experience for a child and can have long-lasting effects on their social and emotional health. We work with families to identify and treat trauma following exposure to gun violence. With support and resources, children can overcome trauma and continue their healthy development.
