Well, hiya!

Hello!

Hi all, I am Becks.

I am a Reach Out Youth Ambassador and currently a Research and Policy Intern. I have been heavily involved with Inspire for about a year now, and I have loved every single minute of it! I have already completed one internship with Inspire, working directly with the Reach Out team, and now I am doing my second internship, working directly with the Research and Policy team. I feel like I am a part of the furniture at the Inspire Sydney office, because I spend SO much time there. Eventually, I would love to work at Inspire full- time, as it is a organisation which I am extremely passionate about. 

Stuff about me.... I am currently in my 3rd and final year of my Bachelor in Applied Social Science (Counselling) degree. I am working towards becoming either a Clinical Psychologist or Occupational Therapist who works with Young People and their Mental Health and Wellbeing. 

I love Writing, Drawing, Music, Movies, Sports, Computers, Yoga, Teddies, Incense, Candles, Animals, Reading, Family, Friends, Studying English, Studying Photography, Studying Philosophy, Studying Modern History, Styuding Politics, Studying Psychology/ Mental Health. I am passionate about Young People and their Mental Health and Wellbeing. Preventing Animal Cruelty. Preventing Sex Crimes Against Children. Gay and Lesbian Equal Rights. Mental Illness Awareness. Abuse Awareness. Suicide Awareness. Self Harm Awareness. Eating Disorders Awareness.

I look forward to meeting you all on the forums! Take care and stay safe everyone. =)

Hi All!

Im Liamay - currently studying Youth Work and I too am a Reach Out Youth Ambassador which i definatly enjoy and look forward to being one for quite some time!!

I also play the role of the Co-Chair for the Inspire WA Community, which i also enjoy being a part of as it has opened up my eyes to diffrent opportunities!

As you may gather already i have a huge passion for the Inspire Foundation - and just like Becks would too like to hopefully have a position within the Inspire Foundation in years to come!!  I also have a big passion for the mental health and well being of Young People.

I love music, cooking (at the moment im learning some really awesome vegetarian meals), long drives into the countryside! and spending way to much time procrastinating on facebook!

Hi, I am completely new to the site and just checking things out at the moment. The name was originally surcease of sorrow, which came from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, in one of the verses the main character is trying to find solace in his books. It is kinda weird but I like it. As you can see I talk, or write a lot. I love scrubs, buffy and angel and openly admit I am a nerd though in a good way. I like reading, a lot. I should probably stop writing now. So... Hi everyone.

I love the Raven...

welcome surcase

man everyone loves scrubs

Thats likely because Scrubs is a quality show Switch

Hi all, Sabby here

Gamer, Reader, New Guy

pleasure to meet you all

Hey everyone,

Wow! what a turn out in the first weekend. Great to have you all here! and look forward to "hearing" a lot more from you on the site.

Scrubs is just an awesome show

Hey small ones,

Hey all!
Libby here, I'm currently a Reach Out intern for the witner and study psychology in the United States. I look forward to getting to know you all better!

Hey guys! I'm Jen (also known as canberra-jd from the old forums). Currently I'm studying to be a paramedic at uni and am also doing youth work online through TAFE (yeah, ok, I'm crazy, I know :P)

I love learning new things, helping other people and teaching people. A couple of things I'm really passionate about are youth access to health services and mental health services - I for one know how hard it is to find them, going through my own issues with all that stuff!

Reach Out is the one place I know I can go to get a bit of extra information and for people to point me in the right direction! It was ultimately from people on the old forums that I actually started realising what was really going on with me and how to take positive steps forward! I really hope I can become involved through the new youth involvement model because I have a crazy passion for Reach Out and I really want to give back!

I've rambled enough - I've got to get to class! See you all around on the forums!

I'm completely new here, saw an add on telly, looked like an interesting, or at least helpful site.

I'm 25, a jeweller and live in rural Victoria.  Looking foreward to exploring the site a little more.

welcome megrim

we always like new people on the site

Sup homies :)

Im Olliie....y'all may know me as Faye. Legally changed my name to Ophelia.

Im not new to this....but I love supporting Inspire/ReachOut, because they supported me, back a year ago on my bumpy journey, as many of you peeps may know. I finished the short tv segment (never made it on tv, but its on my website)

I have left Uni, Im at College now taking on a new path to my life, studying closely in helping youths. :)

I love music: song writing, singing and my grand piano and keyboard. Im a writer, with inspirational words and poetry. I love the beach, I cannot go anywhere without my hand sanatizer. I love dancing (from breakdancing...air-walking, moonwalking...) and I love sleeping. Im a self-publisher, I love my iPod Touch, taking spontaneous photography and photoshopping them, designing a lot of things. Im a very sensitive person and will cry at almost anything, so I love being positive about life, so I wont have to cry. :)

I recently lost two people who I was close to, but one thing I've learnt in life.....it goes on.....:)

Hope to virtually 'see' y-all round the forum!!

*sets up cake*

Hey twoOhSix... if there is an invisible cake virtually....Im invited to XD

Hi! I'm Emily, I'm 18, I went on the old forums a bit but so rarely that I'm not even sure what my logon was :P

Um... I like scrabble. I'm a bit of a nerd, I drink a lot of tea (<3). I also like Scrubs, so clearly we're all going to get along! :)

206,

Bella, if he called you...I think you should get first piece ...

this reminded me of ED (Tv talk host) ... some 5 year old girl created a cake cutter so everyone gets an even piece and ED had difficulties with it so she stepped on the cake cutter to get it cut through, cos it was getting stuck and wouldnt go down....shes hilarious ED.

:)

he he he.
