The ReachOut crew is available to present their regular one hour presentation at community events and conferences to a youth or adult audience.  Due to the cost of performers and sound equipment setup, in order to present this programme free of charge, we need a minimum guaranteed audience of 150 seated persons and an indoor or covered area to set up in.  Larger audiences are welcome, with a maximum determined by the seating area of your auditorium.

Please contact the program manager, Sophia Kelly at 604-255-3450  for more details or to discuss options.

The ReachOut program is extensively evaluated and provides an interesting case study on the process and impact of building health literacy in youth. Both youth and teacher knowledge increase is avaluated, along with the effects of the program on help seeking and referring behaviour, with a view to measuring effect on duration of untreated psychosis.

The program manager is available for presentations at conferences or meetings about the program and it’s evaluation and either of our two videos (One of which was featured at the 6th International Conference on Early Psychosis) are available for broadcast at your event.

If your setup, time span or audience size isn’t a fit for having  a full ReachOut presentation, and you’re interested in having a presenter for a small group or table display at a community event on this topic, we are a program of the BC Schizophrenia Society and can arrange for BCSS staff from outside our program to provide for this service in your area, or you can contact them directly here.  Please contact the program manager, Sophia Kelly at 604-255-3450  for more details or to discuss options or email her here.
