Reach Out Youth Counselling…

Reach Out Youth Counselling and Family Services has been providing support to youth and families for over nineteen years. Common areas addressed include self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress, actions, anger, family conflict, grief, relationships and more, with clients being referred by doctors, psychologists, schools/educators, pastors, parents and others.

Early in 2010 Reach Out Youth Counselling faced demand for high risk services beyond their capacity, which increased wait times and an already lengthy wait list.  Funding s set-backs further complicated the situation, requiring staff cuts and program freezes or closure.  Central Okanagan Foundation was pleased to provide timely financial support.

“The charitable climate in the best of times can be difficult to weather but in today’s economy, it can often seem like a perfect storm of uncertainties with little forecast to prepare.  The horizon today is brighter for Reach Out, with newly secured and renewed funding, enabling both our Addiction Recovery Program and In-School Program to start up once again.”  - Sharon Marshall, Executive Director
