About My Challenge
I think Andy Lee touched on something really important when he appeared on The Assembly and talked about keeping secrets: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXls6JdjoJg/
Andy discussed it further with Carrie and Tommy: https://pca.st/iofv3jco?t=5m57s
Mental health struggles can be hidden. So when you hear of someone struggling, someone behaving in ways that fall outside of your normal, when your inner alarm bell goes off, it could be time to break their trust. Get others involved. Make sure these struggles are known by people who might help.
The secrecy itself is a warning sign. And those who love and care the most, might also be the ones who have been excluded from knowing those struggles.
Lifeline, Headspace, Teachers, Parents or dial Emergency 000. They will all have advice for how your friend can receive help. Keep asking until you know they are getting the care they need.
I'm completing 1,654 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.

These include youth mental health practitioners, peer practitioners, community engagement workers, adolescent health nurses, alcohol & drug workers, and GP's and private practitioners.
Donations made to headspace Box Hill will help us reach and support even more young people who are struggling with access to mental health services, cost-of-living pressures and academic struggles.
