The Reach Out Teachers Network has been made possible because of
the generous support of the following groups and organisations:
Department of Health and Ageing
The Department of Health and Ageing have provided funding to the
Inspire Foundation to support initiatives that raise awareness
amongst young people about the ReachOut.com website. A key aim of
the Teachers Network initiative is to increase the number of
teachers that recommend the ReachOut.com website to their students
and use ReachOut.com resources in their classrooms.
Zig Inge Foundation
The Zig Inge Foundation generously provided funding for the
re-development of the website and inclusion of the interactive
functionality of the Blog. The Zig Inge Foundation also provided
funding for the development and implementation of professional
development workshops to be delivered in Victoria during the first
semester of the 2010 school year. For more information on these
workshops go to the Professional Development Opportunities
section.
Caledonia Foundation
The Caledonia Foundation generously supported the Reach Out
Teachers Network in providing funding for the development of the
Act Now: Youth homelessness matters resource.
The Black Dog Institute
The Black Dog Institute
and the Inspire Foundation have partnered
together to develop teaching and learning resources and a
professional development program for school staff to increase
awareness and understanding of anxiety and mood disorders. This
project will commence in February 2010. Further information about
how teachers can be involved in the development of these resources
will be available on this website over the next few months.
