Following on from the 4 months national consultation we
conducted to explore the needs of professionals in a service like
Reach Out Pro, we wanted to ensure the continued involvement of
professionals through the development and implementation phase.
For this reason we invited a number of professionals from a
range of disciplines to join the Reach Out Pro Professional
Advisory Group. In 2009, three special young people were invited to
join the group. Their contributions to the project has been
invaluable.
Members of the advisory group include:
Dr Ian Hickie
Professor of Psychiatry
Executive Director, Brain & Mind Research Institute
Dr Liz Scott
Psychiatrist and Director of the Clinical Centre, Brain and Mind
Research Institute
