Children’s Behavioral Health

Family Support for Children’s Behavioral Health

Reach Family Services provides bilingual English and Spanish services for parents. The intention of this program is to teach participants how they can support their children who have behavioral challenges. An important component will be Parenting Classes. Parents will learn about important topics, such as communication, positive discipline, self-esteem, dealing with emotions, forgiveness, decision-making, and many more.

Reach Family Services, Inc. is committed to seeing how our children, youth, and families grow, learn, and REACH the goals in their lives.

Signs your child could be having behavioral health issues include talking back, bad grades, fighting, crying more than usual, avoiding social situations, abuse towards other children or animals, and comments of wanting to hurt themselves or others.

The direct support services and programs offered by Reach Family Services, Inc. (Alcanza Servicios de Familia) are Medicaid billable services and accessed through the referral process. For these services and supports, children and youth must be enrolled through United Health Care, Mercy Maricopa, Banner University Health Plan, Molina Health Care, or Care 1st.

The Following Are Some Examples of How We Can Help

Parent/Youth Mentoring

Our parent and youth mentoring services provide families with a supportive person they can turn to for encouragement, guidance, and connection. Mentors work alongside parents and youth to help build confidence, strengthen relationships, navigate challenges, and identify goals that support overall well-being. Through consistent, positive relationships, we help families feel supported and empowered.

Family Support Partners

Family Support Partners use their own lived experience and understanding of navigating behavioral health services to support parents and caregivers. They provide encouragement, help families identify resources, and offer guidance as they work through challenges and advocate for their child’s needs. Our goal is to ensure families know they are not alone and have someone walking alongside them.

Social/Independent Skills Training

Our social and independent skills training helps youth develop practical skills that can support greater confidence and independence in everyday life. Through individualized support and hands-on learning, youth can work on communication, problem-solving, social interaction, decision-making, and other skills that help them navigate home, school, and community settings.

Family Support

We provide families with individualized support based on their unique needs, strengths, and goals. Our team works alongside parents and caregivers to help them navigate challenges, connect with community resources, strengthen family relationships, and build skills that support a more stable and positive home environment. We believe families are an important part of their child’s success and should feel supported every step of the way.

Collaboration With the Child and Family Team

We work collaboratively with the child and family team to ensure that everyone involved in a child’s care is working toward shared goals. By participating in team meetings, communicating with providers, and helping families advocate for their needs, we support a coordinated approach that keeps the child and family at the center of decision-making.

Assistance With Individual Education (IEP) or 504 Plan

Navigating school support systems can feel overwhelming, and we help families better understand and participate in the process. We can provide support as parents prepare for meetings, communicate their child’s needs, understand available accommodations and services, and advocate for appropriate educational support through an IEP or 504 Plan. Our goal is to help families feel confident and informed when partnering with their child’s school.
