20 hours for 20 Talk
20 Hours not speaking- sounds amazing!!
This December I'm taking on the **20 Hours for 20Talk** challenge with my uni/work buddies, and I'd love your support to help me raise $1,000 for youth mental health. Even 1 dollar will help me reach my goal!
**What's the challenge?**
On the of 5th December, I'll join around 400 people in Port Melbourne for 20 hours of silence. I'll be restricted to a 2x2 metre taped square with no phone, no books, no talking and no clock (just a gong every hour). It will be me, my journal and my thoughts for the whole day.
**Why I'm doing it**
Having 3 teens, working in special education and studying to become a teacher, I see every day how much mental wellbeing shapes a young person's life. I feel strongly that young people deserve mental health tools that actually make sense to them, well before they reach a crisis point. That's exactly what 20Talk does.
Doing this with my uni group makes it even more meaningful. We're all future teachers, and many of the students we'll teach will soon be the young adults 20Talk supports.
**About 20Talk**
20Talk is a mental health charity working with young adults aged 18–30. They run free mental health training courses and share relatable online education with an audience of over 60,000 people. Their focus is prevention, giving young people practical skills before things get too hard.
**Where your donation goes**
- $200 puts a young adult through a one-day Mental Health Maintenance course
- $1,000 helps 20Talk reach 80,000 people online with a targeted campaign
Every donation, big or small, gets me closer to my goal. If you can't donate right now, sharing this page helps heaps too.
Thank you so much for reading and for supporting me.
