outreach services
Help beyond walls
Outreach services are programs that bring assistance directly to people rather than waiting for them to seek help.
Social workers, healthcare providers, and nonprofits conduct outreach to homeless populations, at-risk youth, or underserved communities: The clinic's outreach services include mobile vaccination units.
The term emphasizes meeting people where they are—physically and figuratively.
