Project REACH

Project REACH is led by Treatment Collaborative for Traumatized Youth (TCTY) housed within Sanford Research North and represents a consortium of organizations with the shared mission of Reducing barriers, Expanding access, and Advancing trauma care for Children to Heal in North Dakota.

REACH aims to increase access to trauma-focused, evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for underserved/under-resourced children (3-18) and families impacted by trauma in ND.

To increase access, REACH will address behavioral health disparities, reduce barriers to access and engagement in trauma EBTs, and improve frameworks for sustainability.
