Thursday, 17 November 2011 by Sarah Jackson - ROTN Manager

 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.

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.
