INFOBUS September 27th 2018: Getting to know the ReachOut Online Community Team with Amirah

[Zeldasmile]

What do you think of online forum style communities similar to ReachOut and the way it's all structured to help young people?

Wow you have a lot of experience @Amirah-RO! I totally agree with you - the people I've met here on RO are so brave and tough and I admire them so much! 

[missep]

that's so sweet @annabethxchase you've been a big part of the RO community!

[annabethxchase]

Naww thanks @missep

[Amirah-RO]

Good question @Zeldasmile I think this type of forum is great for having what can sometimes be difficult conversations. That's why anonymity is so important and one way that we keep members safe and protect their privacy. I strongly believe in peer support and think there's a lot of value in sharing lived experience, so in those ways I think RO's forums are serving an important purpose.

Can I ask what casework entails you to do? @Amirah-RO
I'm a psych student but all the places that would give me great practical experience always requires experience first
