ReachOut (“Let’s Talk”) is now available for every Mercer County Schools student (K–12).
When students are worried about schoolwork, friendships, family, or their own safety, they can ReachOut for help—day or night.
What is ReachOut?
ReachOut connects students to licensed counselors, a trusted student-support provider. Counselors listen, support, and—when needed—coordinate with your school administrator so students get the right help quickly.
Who can use it?
All MCS students (K–12).
How students access ReachOut
Click the “Let’s Talk” icon on any school computer.
Scan the QR code on ReachOut posters around school.
Tell a trusted school adult—we can help submit a ReachOut together.
What to expect
A counselor responds and helps the student problem-solve.
We respect privacy; if there’s a safety concern, appropriate adults will be involved to keep everyone safe.
Questions? Contact your school social worker.
