ReachOut Pro has hit January with a bang this new year, with several new resources for professionals launched on site just this week! The first recordings from out pilot webinars are now available on the ReachOutPro.com.au site, with speakers and discussion from our first webinar delivered to Headspace staff in Dec 2011. Listen to experts from the sector speak about the evidence for using technology to support young people, and the ethical challenges we need to overcome.

To find out more about other new resources for helping young people, check out the features below!

What do young people do online?

Online spaces, websites, and the way people use them changes incredibly fast - and with each new space, tool and app, come new behaviours and communities. A key part of supporting young people and helping them to stay safe online is understanding what it is that they do, and what it means to them to be online.

To help you stay up to date, we've refreshed the Using Technology section on ReachOutPro.com.au with a new guide to Trends in Online Behaviour, as well as additional information on the ways that young people seek help online.

"People with goals succeed because they know where they're going." Earl Nightingale

Supporting young people to envision a future beyond the problems they face is an important part of helping them to find hope. After all, if we don't know where we're going, how will we get there?

ReachOut.com is highlighting resources for setting and working towards goals, and inspirational stories of success. This month, connect young people with goal setting resources on ReachOut.com!

New easy-guide to social network privacy + safety features

With all the social networks out there, it's tough helping young people to understand the different privacy and safety features of each service they use.

This month, the Australian Government launched a new online resource, with information direct from 26 of the top social networking sites, search engines and online games on how to manage their privacy settings, and on how to report abuse, cyberbullying and inappropriate content.
