1 STRATEGIC PLAN Thank you so much for supporting ReachOut.com. Without what you have helped to create, I wouldn t be here Becca, 19 1

2 FROM OUR CEO ReachOut.com by Inspire Foundation exists to help young people be happy and well. We continue this mission at a time of great change in technology and community understanding of mental health. Whilst the prevention of mental illness is a crucial part of our mission, we must also help young people flourish, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and resources to thrive in a changing world. Since we launched ReachOut.com in 1998 our organisation has achieved great things. Our service has helped millions of young people get the information, support and help they have needed to get through tough times. In the process, we ve been pioneers in the field of e-mental health and launched the ReachOut.com service in Ireland and the US. We ve also developed initiatives that have provided mental health resources to thousands of high school teachers across Australia, whilst educating the mental health workforce on how ReachOut.com can improve the care they provide young people. We ve delivered this with a strong commitment to youth involvement and evidence-based service development. In addition, we ve taken a lead role in the establishment of a Cooperative Research Centre that will push our work and the work of others to new heights. Whilst we can be proud of what we have achieved to date, we know there is much more to be done. This Strategic Plan is a roadmap for the coming three years to meet our ambitious goals of reaching one in two young people, and transforming the way in which youth mental health services are delivered in Australia. We know that with greater resources, we can do so much more to reach and help young people. None of this will be achievable without the community of people who believe in our mission and support our work. To each of you we say thank you, and invite you to join us as we help even more young people be happy and well. Jono Nicholas CEO STRATEGIC PLAN
