Reach Out Resource Hub
Working Group's Underlying Need
Targeted violence and mass attacks are preventable. A loved one often picks up on concerning behavior or hears something, but they don’t speak up. The most cited reason is that they don’t want to get their loved one in trouble. The Reach Out Resource Hub flips the script. It’s not about reporting to law enforcement, but about seeking help. The Resource Hub connects people with professionals who can help. Never worry alone.
Our Approach
The Reach Out Resource Hub is a national directory dedicated to providing supportive resources for bystanders, friends, loved ones, survivors, victims, and even those most at risk for committing acts of targeted and hate-fueled violence. The Resource Hub connects individuals with the most relevant and accessible resources to help keep their communities safe. These resources, organizations, and professionals recognize their role in providing wraparound services and support for those who may be at risk for targeted violence.
Before a violent attack is imminent, the Resource Hub connects individuals with resources that can help them or their loved ones get the help they need. Whether you already know what you are looking for or are searching out of concern, this directory connects you with professionals you can contact in your state or local community.
You can use the Resource Hub to search for:
- Clinicians in your area who are able and willing to accept referrals, even for those who may be considered high-risk
- Nonprofits, state and local agencies, licensed mental health providers, social workers, educators, academics, and others working in the community
- Supportive services and groups, ways to report hate crimes, and other initiatives founded by survivors
