A regular monthly gift is an incredible way to help ReachOut ensure that nobody has to face a mental health issue alone.
A regular monthly gift is an extraordinary way to ensure young people don't have to face mental health issues alone.
For more than 20 years, ReachOut has been helping young people and their families access support as they experience mental health challenges. Now more than ever, the demand for our services is growing.
We provide immediate relief alongside the skills and resilience needed to deal with future challenges. Mental health is not linear. There will be setbacks and challenges along the way.
Your monthly ongoing donation will help make sure that no-one has to go it alone with our free online services that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Australia wide.
If you need to make changes to your existing regular gift, it’s as simple as giving us a call on 02 8029 7777 or sending an email to supporters@reachout.com with your request. You can also read our Donation FAQs for more information.
Why regular giving is so important
‘I thought I was alone. So, so alone, like I was the only person who had to deal with this, and now I know that was, and is, far from the truth. But for those who don’t know about ReachOut.com, there are many young people who have not realised this yet.’ – Daniel, 22
Our supporters help us to provide ReachOut.com, a free online mental health service that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, right across Australia.
The value of such a service is evident in the many messages we receive – some like the above, from Daniel who grew up in a rural area.
Right now, 40% of young people in Australia are living with a mental health difficulty. But there’s an even bigger problem: 7 in 10 of those who need help don’t get it. There are many reasons why:
- They might be ashamed, or afraid of what others think.
- There may not be any appropriate services close to them.
- They don’t know where to start.
- They don’t believe anything can help.
- They don’t realise that what they’re feeling could be a diagnosable illness.
Thanks to your ongoing donation you can help provide young people with access to online resources to help them through tough times. For as little as $20 a month, you will have an impact on the mental health of thousands of young people in Australia. You will also join a community of people who understand that looking after your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health.
