Wellness & Prevention

Community Wellness

Reaching HOPE understands that a systemic approach to ending intergenerational trauma must include work at a community level, in addition to the important individual and family-system work Reaching HOPE does.

We participate in ongoing outreach to the community, engagement with partner agencies, and embrace a commitment to actively learn from our community. For us, this means participating in creating healthier spaces and systems for all of us to enjoy, and understanding that we won't always have the right answer, but through collaboration and connection, we can find the solution together.

Vicarious Trauma Prevention & Resilience Building
