We have an ambitious goal - Across 3 years we aim to send information about our online youth mental health service ReachOut.com to every high school in Australia. As part of this we also aim to enable ReachOut.com Youth Ambassadors to work with schools to ensure young people know where to get help for their mental health.

We need to raise $168,000 to make this happen!
