ReachOut Pro runs a series of online professional development
seminars (known as "webinars"). These webinars allow health
professionals to hear more about using technology to support the
mental health of young people, through talks and Q&As with
experts and fellow practitioners.
Speakers include professionals who have used social media and
online spaces to support the young people they work with, and
experts from the field who profile trends and best practice in
using these tools to support young people.
The webinars build on the content of the free "Connecting Our Worlds"
educational resource, a package of PowerPoint tutorials and
downloadable resources that explore the ways in which social media
and online spaces can be used to support young people's mental
health and wellbeing. These resources, including practical case
studies for using technology in practice, are available via the
links on the left.
