Three great articles on online help-seeking were published in the West Australian today. It's great to see the issue of young people's mental health getting this sort of attention. We're sure that these articles will help many young people take the first step to seeking help.
Journalist Marnie McKimmie interviewed Inspire's CEO Jonathan Nicholas and printed excerpts and included inspiring quotes from young people who have used ReachOut.com to help themselves through their tough times.
