ReachOut.com is proud to partner with the ABC for 'Mental As', a week of special programming that will kick-start a national conversation about mental health. ReachOut.com CEO Jonathan Nicholas welcomed the initiative.
"Mental As is the spark we need to reignite the conversation about mental health," said Nicholas. “Mental health is one of the most pressing issues facing Australians,” added Nicholas. “We applaud the ABC for their leadership in bringing mental health front and centre in national media.”
"As the national broadcaster, the ABC has a unique opportunity to facilitate critical national conversations, starting with mental health".
ReachOut.com is providing content support and advice on youth-targeted programming for Mental As.
“The majority of mental health difficulties set in by the age of 24, so it’s crucial that young people’s mental health is part of this conversation,” said Nicholas. Find out more about Mental As on the ABC’s website, and like ReachOut.com on Facebook below.
