Each week on ReachOut Pro we highlight the discussions and
activities happening on ReachOut.com that you can
encourage young people you work with to get involved in. Click here to learn more about
ReachOut.com - Australia's leading online youth mental health
service.
The ReachOut.com forums are a safe
space where young people are encouraged to connect with other young
people who have been through similar issues and talk about these
issues in a positive productive way. The forums provide a valuable
support community for young people seeking to improve their mental
health and wellbeing, and can provide additional support between
sessions for young people you are working with.
ReachOut.com Advocacy Programs - Applications
Close Tues 8th November
We want young people to get active on mental health, and to
speak out to the media and to politicians about the importance of
youth mental health services. For many young people who have been
through tough times, being able to speak out and support others is
an important stage of their journey.
If young people you work with are looking for a way to give back
and to connect with others around the issue of mental health,
encourage them to apply!
