Did you learn something new?Student post down below:he REACH program is a program for adolescents and adults. This program if for mental health services which offers an intense outpatient program for children, adults, and adolescents. This program provides treatments for behavioral, emotional, stress, and anxiety issues. This program is located in Bridgeport Ct and this city always need help, support and guidance. This grant would be for helping the program and expanding the program so we can decrease the mental health issues. This proposal will take about six months to get things started. August 13 2021 to February 18 2021. For the first month I will be focusing on my clients one on one to get the comfortable enough to talk to the staffs and open up. I will also be having group therapies so clients could get to know one another. I will be playing games and activities to get to know one another. My staffs will also be doing training and education weekly to know how to handle specific clients. They will also be doing training to protect themselves just in case any clients decides to escalate. My clients will be pretending what if they were in that person’s shoe and taking advice from one another. The first month will be focusing on one another and getting to get comfortable with each other. For the second month I would separate clients by their disorders so they can relate to one another and maybe help each other. I would use the grant and buy any tools needed such as activity tools to help support the program. This would help me to decide if the issues has increased, decreased, or remain the same as the week goes by. I would also focus on my clients current physical issues, if their emotional gotten worse or better, how they are socially, and what is cause the changes if any (Coley & Scheinberg, 2016). I will start the process and try to get any help in anyway. I would gather any information needed such as what tools are needed and the extra space that is needed to separate the clients. For the third month we will be focusing on going out in the community and doing field trips to take their minds off the stress and the struggles. We will also have activities on campus that they can either do alone or with each other. My goal is to educate my clients so they can go back to their normal lives and know how to deescalate any anxiety without escalating the issues. This gives me the opportunity to begin any extra grant process needed or finalize all paperwork before sending my grant proposal.
