Our Mission:
At Reach 848, we are committed to supporting current National Guard and Reserve members through peer support and financial assistance for mental health services. We recognize the unique challenges that come with balancing military and civilian life—unpredictable schedules, deployment stress, insurance complications, and the difficulties of reintegration. Our goal is to remove barriers by offering confidential, stigma-free support . Your information is protected and not shared with outside organizations.
We've been where you are, and we're here to ensure you never have to face your struggles alone. Let us walk alongside you as you find the care you need and build a stronger, more balanced life.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to connect you with mental health services and resources specifically tailored to support the mental and emotional well-being of current Guard and Reserve military members. Our mission is to:
Connect you with accessible mental health services including counseling, therapy, and support groups to promote the mental well-being of our Guard and Reserve members.
Develop and distribute educational resources aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of mental health issues faced by service members.
Create a community with peer support and community connection among those in the Guard and Reserves.
We Get it
Do you ever feel more at home on the tarmac or at your squadron than in your own driveway? At your kids' sports events, do your thoughts drift to the children you’ve helped in other countries? Do you struggle to connect with other couples who stress over short business trips, or with parents at tournaments who worry about the heat? At your civilian job, do you sometimes find it hard to take urgent tasks seriously, knowing they pale in comparison to what you’ve faced before? If so, you are not alone. We’re here to help. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Fearful?
Are you worried that seeking counseling might get you "flagged"? Are you concerned that asking for help might jeopardize your security clearance or retirement benefits? Do you fear judgment or reprimand if others learn you're struggling? Reach 848 is here to reassure you: We’ve got you. We understand. Let us offer the private, confidential support you need.
