Ensuring the well-being of your child is paramount, especially when they have developmental disabilities and may face behavioral challenges. Virginia's REACH program is dedicated to supporting families by offering
preventive services to address potential crises before they escalate.
What is the REACH Program?
REACH (Regional Education Assessment Crisis Services Habilitation) is a statewide initiative designed to assist youth and adults with developmental disabilities who might experience behavioral health crises.
The program emphasizes prevention, aiming to reduce the risk of situations that could lead to hospitalization, incarceration, or harm.
Crisis Prevention Services for Youth
For children under 18, REACH provides short-term crisis prevention at Crisis Therapeutic Homes (YCTH) located in the Culpeper and Richmond areas. These homes offer a supportive environment where trained professionals
work with your child to manage early signs of behavioral challenges, helping to prevent crises and maintain stability.
How to Access REACH Services
REACH services are available 24/7 throughout Virginia. Families can reach out to their regional REACH program for information, resources, or to discuss potential admissions:
