Something to share with your students, staff and
faculty!
Each week we will be highlighting the discussions and activities
happening on ReachOut.com that you can encourage young people you
work with to get involved in. Reachout.com forums are a safe space
where young people are encouraged to connect with other young
people who have been through similar 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.
Each Monday night ReachOut.com hosts discussion sessions on
general issues and topics that affect the mental health and
wellbeing of young people- with recent sessions getting over 1,000
views, and up to 50 active contributors. This week's Getting Real
session will be a community led discussionon schoolies, what to
expect, and how to have a good time while staying safe.
MONDAY: Talking LIVE about Getting through the
holidays
Date/Time: 8.00pm AEST (5pm in WA), Monday November
21st
Ideas to promote this forum: through daily
announcements/notices, school newsletters, SRC meetings,
faculty/staff meetings, computer screen savers and home pages
of your website.
