Brief Update

 Reach will continue to see clients by Telehealth and at our Neenah location.  Reach therapists are working both remotely, through Telehealth, and in person.  Reach advocates are now presenting in person for all sexual assault exams at local hospitals and continue to work with the DA and County courts, as they resume hearings and trials over the next several weeks.

• All Staff and Clients must wear face masks or face shields. 
• Doors will be locked.  Please call from your car and a staff person will meet you at the door.
• Temperatures will be taken when you enter and you will be offered a mask if you don’t have one.
• Face shields or masks must be worn in all sessions.   
• We are now taking new clients.                                                                                      

Please stay posted to our FB page for future updates and Resources. 

During this unprecedented time, we will continue to provide services to current and new clients in all programs.  Advocates will respond to victims via phone, virtually or in-person depending on individual needs.  Educators will continue to provide virtual education for students, staff and parents who are struggling to maintain safety and sanity during this time.  Crisis calls are being responded to 24/7. 

Reach knows that for trauma survivors times such as these can trigger trauma responses and reactions.  Being closed in with family members for weeks can create difficult situations that may lead to fear and feelings of helplessness, as well as safety issues.  We are Here to Help!  Call us at 920-722-8150.  

We are all in this Pandemic together and need to observe the safeguards of staying home, staying safe and keeping 6 feet of physical distance if you must go out!   Let us show each other compassion and kindness in this time of crisis.  We are more alike than we are different.  Let’s hold on to that!

Thank you for your continued support of Reach and our Mission.

Reach Counseling has a long history of meeting the needs of individuals, families and communities throughout the Fox Valley. Established in 1976 as the Winnebago County Sexual Assault Response Team, the agency was dedicated to the prevention of sexual abuse, incest and rape, and to offer advocacy and support to victims.

With an ongoing commitment to the well-being of the Fox Valley, the agency became a licensed outpatient mental health clinic in 1993. Adding long-term, outpatient clinical services to prevention education, advocacy, counseling and offender treatment programs created a systemic approach of prevention, response and treatment. Understanding how incidents of sexual and physical abuse create trauma responses in the body and mind, Reach was working with hundreds of individuals and families annually through counseling and advocacy by 2001.

Reach has been a leader in identifying changing needs and responding with innovative programming in education, outreach, counseling and treatment.
