Infobus session this Thursday 17/6/10, 7-9pm EST
Hey all
In April this year – we provided a submission and attended a roundtable hearing discussion for the House of Representatives Inquiry into Youth Suicide Prevention.
Our submission and talking points focused on the impact of suicide on young people and the role that ICT can play in providing services to young people.
As always, we also advocated for Government to work with young people – urging them to consider YOU as a powerful partner - essential in the design, development and delivery of youth targeted programs to reduce youth suicide.
Well, the message definitely got through because the committee are holding a roundtable forum for young people and we have been asked to bring 3-4 Reach Out Youth Ambassadors to represent Inspire.
We also want to hear from the wider RO community - i.e. YOU!
Everyone has the opportunity to have their voices heard and contribute to this discussion by the infobus session here this Thurs 17 June 7-9pm EST. The fabulous YA’s Antria and HayleyB will be facilitating this discussion :-)
The Roundtable forum will be held in Sydney CBD on Wednesday 30th June 2010.
Hope to see you on Thursday!! :)

Reply ReportLooking forward to chatting to all you guys during the infobus. Don't forget if you have friends who are not part of the RO community but would like to have a say, invite them to join up before then so they can jump in and join the discussion. I already told a friend about it, who I thought might want to put her two cents worth in :)

I know Antria and HayleyB are definitely going! (they're going to report back to the community about how they went too, which is awesome).
The plan is to get more InfoBus sessions happening VERY soon. Stay tuned!
