ReachOut is currently looking to connect with people who have had an experience of school refusal to share their story in the media. We are looking for someone who is over 18, or the parent of a teen. Sharing your story would include being comfortable with your name and photo to be featured on an online news site.
We ask all media participants to carefully consider if sharing their story in the media is right for them at the moment. Please note that briefing and support will be provided for anyone who chooses to take part in this volunteering opportunity.
Please note that we have only listed the states relevant for this media opportunity.
We often receive a large amount of interest in taking part in media events, so we will not be able to get back to everyone who responds to us.
