A Legacy of Service and Community Impact

"My mother’s unwavering dedication to helping others has inspired me to create a platform that could continue her legacy," says LaDeidra. "At RBS, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of those we serve."
Innovative Programs for Mental Health and Education
Under LaDeidra’s leadership, RBS has developed a number of innovative programs to help address the diverse needs of the community. These include the Music & Mental Health program, which explores how music can support emotional well-being, and the Reaching Beyond Self workshops, which encourage personal growth and resilience. Additionally, RBS organizes community events, such as men’s basketball tournaments, which provide opportunities for physical wellness while also fostering community engagement.
The organization also provides educational support through initiatives like homework assistance for children and back-to-school events aimed at helping students prepare for the academic year. By integrating mental health services with educational support, RBS offers a holistic approach to personal development and community care.
Expanding Nationwide to Reach More Communities
