About us

The Reach Out Teachers Network was originally launched in 2007 in response to the growing need to support teachers to understand the mental health issues impacting on young people they were working with. The original Teachers Network site showcased stories from teachers and other school staff on how they had used the ReachOut.com website in their work.

The Teachers Network site was re-launched in 2010 with an expanded focus on delivering teachers more quality resources for use in their work. The new site also includes an entire section devoted to the use of technology in schools in order to engage students more effectively in their learning.
