In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to recognize the importance of providing students necessary tools and access to mental health resources.

REACH Prep's Director of Middle School Programs, Nupsie Exantus, has her doctorate degree in social work and has spent over a decade developing and facilitating Life-skills & Social Emotional Learning workshops for middle and high school students. In addition to the workshops Nupsie hosts, we also partner with individuals and organizations that provide additional support for our scholars and families.

Mental health matters, and we are committed to ensuring students have the opportunity to access mental health support throughout their educational journeys.
