Special guests talk about sexual health
Young people talking to young people all about safe sex and
sexuality. Monday night on ReachOut.com the forums will be
playing host to young people from the Youth Educating Peers program
in Perth, who will be talking about sexual health.
The Monday Getting Real sessions offer a great space for young
people to pitch questions about real life, or even just anonymously
follow the conversation.

Unhealthy relationships
Sometimes relationships are just not healthy, and they do a lot
more harm than good. Being able to give consent, and not be abused
in a relationship, is a right that sometimes we need a little help
protecting.
Next Thursday will be our monthly InfoBus session where a
professional support worker joins us on the forums to lead a
discussion about the really serious stuff. If you've got young
people struggling with a toxic or abusive relationship, or who
would benefit from hearing the perspectives and strategies of other
young people, send them over!

The ReachOut.com
Forums
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.

young people, access the resources and fact sheets in
