Here I go again on my own. ;)
Hi there,
I'm taking part in 20 Hours For 20Talk | Saturday 28th March to support 20Talk.
This is my 2nd year of raising over $1.000 for Mental Health for people in need, if all I need to do is camp out with 200+ stranger overnight then that's an easy enough task for me. Daunting and verrrrry quiet at times and my many voices never quite match that silence as I am there however it is something I gain for myself and others for being part of this positive event, so I had no probllama signing up this year.

Blessings to all,
Theresa
In order to raise funds for this much needed Mental Health Charity 20Talk, I'm going to take on the challenge of sitting in a 2 metre square box for 20 hours with no technology and no talking! This challenge will be a small look into the day of someone struggling with mental health, how much we stay in our heads, places we go, faces that help us pull through it and how we combat these thoughts, feelings and emotions, often. All I will have is my own thoughts, a journal and a chair to sit on.
So why am I doing this?
We have all been touched in some way or another by the reality of mental health. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting.
Structurally, the statistics are still alarming..
- Suicide still remains the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-44.
- Only 2% of mental health funding goes towards prevention (Mental Health Commission 2022)
I'm completing the 20 Hours for 20Talk to turn these statistics around. Your contribution goes towards 20Talk's relatable prevention campaigns. They are a mental health charity that makes education cool and accessible, for young people by young people.
Your generous donations go towards:
- Every $120 puts a young person through a one day Mental Health Maintenance cours
- Expanding 20Talk's online resources and 60,000+ social media community
- Running large-scale interactive mental health events
By improving mental health literacy, removing harmful stigma, and encouraging professional help-seeking we are preventing people from getting people into crisis in the first place.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for donating to the cause. Hopefully this small challenge can help change someone’s life.
If you ever need to chat, I’m always here. Love you all and thanks again!
