Invitation to help shape mental health
resources for health professionals
Here at Inspire (the organisation behind ReachOut Pro and ReachOut.com) we are
conducting research to better understand the preferences and needs
of people who work with young people (14 - 25 years of age) in
relation to mental health and wellbeing.
Specifically, the research aims to:
- Understand the needs of health professionals in relation to
supporting young people's mental health and wellbeing
- Understand where health workers are currently getting the
information or professional development they need to support young
people's mental health and wellbeing
- Understand how health professionals working with young people
are using these services and resources
- Learn more about the perceived gaps in existing service
provision and resources available, and how these services and
resources can be made more accessible and useful for this
professional group
- Learn more about other kinds of resources, services and
materials that these groups would find most useful in supporting
young people's mental health and well-being
The research will be used by the Inspire Foundation to tailor
its services to more effectively meet the needs of the professional
groups list above.
We are currently inviting health workers to participate in a 2
hour focus group discussion (of up to 6 participants) from
9am - 11am on Tuesday the 5th of June 2012 at The
Brain and Mind Research Institute, 100 Mallett Street Camperdown
NSW. The Inspire Foundation has contracted Pamodzi Consulting to
undertake this research. Pamodzi consultant Clare Doube will be
facilitating the focus group discussion.

If you indicate a willingness to participate in the focus group,
Pamodzi will contact you directly to confirm your attendance, and
