Emotional Disorders in Children and The REACH Institute’s Mission

Emotional disorders in children are very common. It is estimated that one in every five children or adolescents may have an emotional or mental health disorder that requires identification and treatment, so if that is the case with your child, you are not alone. There is help available for your child or adolescent, and there is help for you, their parents.

The REACH Institute (The Resource for Advancing Children’s Health) envisions a future in which emotional disorders in children are not regarded as stumbling blocks, but as conditions that are easily treated. At the REACH Institute we believe that child and adolescent evidence based mental health training for clinicians can enable them to help children struggling with emotional, behavioral, or mental health disorders not only adapt, but go on to live healthy, productive, "normal" lives.
