To tackle this issue, the Inspire Foundation has worked directly with young people to develop leading online youth mental health service ReachOut.com. The mobile website provides young people with information, support and resources they need to improve their understanding of mental health issues, increase their help-seeking skills, and ensure they know they’re not alone.
