Reach Out Pro

Clinical Advisory Group

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
