40% of young people in Australia are experiencing mental health difficulties. But there’s an even bigger problem: more than a million young people with a mental health difficulty are not seeking professional support. And, suicide remains the leading cause of death of young Aussies. That means more young people take their own lives each year than die in car accidents.
After friends and family, the internet is the first place young people turn to find support. That’s where ReachOut comes in.
