-Let
children of our community be our future-
Unfortunately, not all
children are lovingly embraced.
Tragically one
out of every three children suffer severe and prolonged physical emotional or
sexual abuse by age eighteen. . Many others are victims of violent crimes.
These children, their trust and innocence violated, begin their lives
overwhelmed with fear, anger and depression. Many will turn to drugs and
alcohol, others to violence - often as members of street gangs. Still others
will become another statistic in the second leading cause of death among our
teenagers - suicide!
However, there is hope for these children. There is R.E.A.Ch.-Sheboygan
- Recovery for Emotionally Abused Children– Sheboygan. R.E.A.Ch.-Sheboygan
sponsors treatment for these individuals through comprehensive community - based
treatment programs at Associated Psychological Health Services. R.E.A.Ch.
programs elsewhere have provided millions of dollars in service annually to the
children and Families. R.E.A.Ch.-Sheboygan is a non-profit, charitable
organization. Since, 1992, R.E.A.Ch. organizations have helped to fill the gap
between the minimal services provided by insurance and/or public assistance and
the care actually needed for these children. R.E.A.Ch.-Sheboygan enables abused
children and adults abused as children the opportunity, to heal their wounds
-and begin to live again as physically, emotionally and spiritually complete
human beings.
You Can Help!
R.E.A.Ch.
Sheboygan tracks all proceeds it receives from benefactors so that each year
everyone who has donated to R.E.A.Ch.—Sheboygan can know exactly how many abused
children were helped, what age groups they came from, how long a person used our
help and exactly how much money went to direct therapy and not administrative
costs.
R.E.A.Ch. Sheboygan
puts 100% of all donations toward direct client care !
R.E.A.Ch.-Sheboygan sponsors a variety of fund raising activities and community
awareness programs throughout the year. Volunteers for these events, as well as
for day to day fund-raising and operations, are always welcome.

REACH-Sheboygan has partnered with the
consignment-thrift store (Nikki's Nex 2 New,
