REACH seeks to transform children’s health services by helping care providers use proven methods Expanding the “reach” of today’s knowledge is what we do.

According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science, it takes 18 years on average for medical innovations to reach patients. Shortening the wait for science to reach its intended beneficiaries greatly benefits families, communities and society as a whole. REACH and its scientific partners believe that this time lag can be reduced to less than 3 years, giving more than 3 milli

on young people a real chance for happier, healthier and more productive lives. The discovery of even more effective treatments is what we hope for. Please join us in making certain that children and adolescents are not left waiting too long. REACH uses a four-step process to accelerate the time that it takes for state-of-art science to reach local communities:

* Identify and validate the highest-quality scientific findings
* Adapt these new interventions to make them family- and child-friendly
* Quickly disseminate and implement these proven interventions, and
* Empower local communities to sustain this change process through ongoing access to REACH’s latest programs, training materials and technical assistance

We were grateful to lead the first of two Mental Health Trainings for School Nurses with New Jersey–based participants this week.

School nurses play a critical role in supporting student mental health, often serving as a first point of contact for students in need. It’s been a privilege to work with such a dedicated group of professionals and to support them in building skills to recognize, assess, and respond to mental health concerns in the school setting.

We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation during the second session later this month.

Burnout and compassion fatigue are increasingly common among pediatric clinicians, yet they’re rarely discussed openly.

In the latest episode of REACHing Solutions, the new podcast from The REACH Institute, Dr. Amy Kryder shares an honest perspective on how burnout develops, how to recognize it, and the pressures clinicians face in primary care. The conversation explores boundaries, mindset shifts, and practical ways to stay grounded while caring for others.

We were thrilled to lead a fully funded Patient-Centered Mental Health in Pediatric Primary Care (PPP) program this past weekend for a fantastic group of 51 clinicians from across New Jersey, made possible by the generosity of a committed funder.

Episode 3 of the REACHing Solutions podcast is now available.

In this conversation, developmental-behavioral pediatrician and longtime REACH faculty member Gene Hershorin, MD shares practical strategies for one of the most common challenges in pediatric practice: time. When visits are often limited to 15 minutes, addressing behavioral health concerns can feel overwhelming. Dr. Hershorin offers realistic guidance to help clinicians integrate mental health care into busy schedules without compromising quality.
