Mental health
Mental illness and poor mental health are conditions that have overtly and subtly impacted my life and too many of those around me, and Australians in general.
I’ve lost family, friends and community members, and continue to watch other loved ones struggle at various times with their own battles. In fact, I’ve struggled with my own for a while.
The reality is that we all will face challenges with our mental health at some point- not just those with genetic predispositions- and one of the best protective measures is strong communities, support and being able to talk about what we’re going through.
De-stigmatising these challenges, and creating accepting spaces by sharing our challenges and leaning on each other is ultimately one of the most powerful things we can do.
So to help normalize these conversations I'm completing 3,307 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.
Supporting headspace
headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services for 12-25 year olds.
Each year, headspace helps thousands of young people access vital support through our headspace centres in over 175 communities across Australia, our online and phone counselling services, our vocational services, and our presence in schools.
The support headspace receives from the community helps us achieve our vision - that all young Australians are supported to be mentally healthy and engaged in their communities.
