REACH

REACH is a health and legal institution located at 1430 Tully Road in San Jose, California. Their mission is to raise awareness about mental health and provide culturally competent and evidence-informed treatment to youth, young adults, and their families. They offer prevention and early intervention services for individuals (ages 10-25) at risk for or experiencing early psychosis in Santa Clara County.

Psychosis is a brain condition that, if untreated, can distort a person's perception of reality. The REACH program aims to detect early warning signs of psychosis and provide effective support and treatment to help individuals succeed in school, work, and life. Early intervention can delay or prevent the onset of chronic psychosis, reduce hospitalizations, and increase engagement with community services and support resources.

The REACH Team assists youth and their families in strengthening coping skills, reducing stress, and improving daily life. They offer services in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese to those who meet the early warning signs criteria and are Medi-Cal eligible or uninsured/unsponsored.

With one in four Americans experiencing mental illness at some point in their lives, and suicide being the third leading cause of death for ages 15-24, it is crucial to provide early intervention and support for those in need.
