Make a referral to Reach Out

"I have 3 boys aged 11, 10 and 7. Last year, I suffered a traumatic brain injury which meant I was in hospital for a few weeks. I was worried about what effect this would have on my boys. Thankfully, I found Reach Out and what an amazing charity. They matched me up with a wonderful counsellor who worked with me and my boys together. He was able to come to our house and made sure my boys felt comfortable with him. He chose age-appropriate techniques. Thankfully, it appears they have come out of it all relatively unscathed. Without this help from this wonderful charity, I know I would still be worrying now. Thank you, Andrea and Angus".

"I would say that the service has been absolutely invaluable and don’t see how my son could have got to a better place emotionally without the help of the charity. He seems better equipped to deal with his emotions and having some help from Reach Out has definitely helped him on his way to a happier place. I honestly believe that this service could help so many more children if supported, and I am truly grateful for their help so far. Keep up the good work Reach Out".

"Reach Out really helped our daughter manage the transition from primary to secondary school, where her brother was already established and she was fighting to become someone other than ‘the annoying little sister’. Reach Out helped our daughter with techniques to manage her emotions, apply perspective and be comfortable in her own skin. All during lockdown, so no big ask! Thank you"
