Facilitator
Michael Reichert
Michael Reichert, an applied and research psychologist, has long advocated for children and families. From counseling youth involved in the juvenile justice system and leading treatment teams in a psychiatric hospital to managing an independent clinical practice, he has tested his understanding of children with real—even life-threatening—challenges.
Reichert has immersed himself in research and consultation experiences that have afforded a deeper understanding of the conditions that allow a child to flourish in natural contexts: families, schools, and communities. He has created and run programs in both inner-city communities and some of the most affluent suburban communities in the world. Working across such varied conditions, he has developed a profound appreciation for the hard science of human development.
For 10 years Reichert helped create and lead an intervention for high-risk youth in the tri-state region around Philadelphia. The program raised over $4 million in grants and was named a “promising practice” for reducing youth violence by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
As an extension of his work with schools, boys, and their parents, Reichert was asked to pull together top national experts by a highly regarded boys’ school outside Philadelphia and create a unique program combining research, advocacy, and service. The program established the first school-based research center devoted to understanding the particular needs of boys, which eventually grew into a research collaborative between independent schools and the University of Pennsylvania. He continues to lead this center, which has honed a model for student empowerment, Youth Participatory Action Research, to train high school students in rigorous research methods so they can explore pressing questions about relationships and identity.
In his work conducting research for IBSC, Reichert has spoken to audiences of boys, educators, and parents throughout Africa, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. He has led workshops and consulted with hundreds of schools of all types.
Since 1984, Reichert has maintained a clinical practice outside Philadelphia specializing in work with boys, men, and their families. In addition to direct patient care, he has served as the supervising psychologist at an independent boys’ school and has had the opportunity there to create and lead a program designed to enhance boys’ emotional literacy.
This body of experience has led him to publish numerous articles and several books, including Reaching Boys, Teaching Boys: Lessons About What Works—and Why and I Can Learn From You: Boys as Relational Learners. His new book for parents is How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men.
