Young people are under massive pressure – to be accepted, to achieve, to be sure of their identity. REACH works in schools to address some of the many issues which affect young people today.  The work has led to increased self esteem, attendance and attainment; reduced incidences of bullying, self harm, drug use and (potential) teen pregnancy as well as improvements in behaviour, friendships and attitude to staff and parents.

These changes are achieved through one to one sessions with individuals, offering a listening ear and supportive advice in a non-judgmental and familiar environment. Our REACH project worker is accessible, approachable and acts as a middle ground linking pupils with peers, parents, staff and other agencies. The young people can either refer themselves to thethe school.  Reach also delivers workshops, assemblies and clubs during and after school.
