Adam is taking on the 20-hour challenge to support youth mental health and raise awareness about the importance of prevention.

Time for change

Too anyone of my friends, family or anyone I have on this platform.

Please take a moment to open the link and help me make a difference too a cause most of you would know I feel very strongly about.

Over my time in life it has been no secret I have had my struggles. I’ve come across these two boys from 20Talk who are being the difference when it comes to mental health. Providing educational resources to the younger generation, through universities and other media outlets. just like most things in life early prevention and early intervention are the key to getting out the other side in a better place and dare I say it in some cases Alive.

There’s many things in this world that should never have to happen or experienced but a parent attending there child’s funeral for something that could have been prevented in this day and age is absoloutly not acceptable and 20Talk is doing there part to make the difference.

I am jumping on board with them to take part in a fund raising event where 250 people for 20 hours will remain in silence with no technology and nothing but our thoughts. 250 people putting themselves in a position that so many of us today young or old seem to do, in a position of isolation, sit in silence with nothing but our thoughts and not raise our voice.

The collective 250, we are selflessly putting ourselves into this position, where so many in life FEEL it is there only choice. And again that is unacceptable.

Your donations are going to a good cause. If I didn’t think it was worth it. I myself wouldn’t be doing it.

I’m doing this for the younger version of myself. I’m doing this for all the kids who mite be struggling, but deserve a chance to be someone or something in this world.

If you’ve got kids and thought this would be or would have been good for them.

If you yourself feel like this could have helped you.

Please donate to this good cause and let me take the 20hours on the chin.

If nothing else and you’ve gotten this far, thank you for reading and I hope some of this resonates.

Please remember.

*It’s ok to not be ok

*The words left unspoken are always the loudest.

*Sometimes it’s not about people coming forward but maybe we should all be asking others the important questions

*One of the biggest lies in the world are the words

“Yeah I’m ok” said through the face with a beaming smile.

If you see something, feel something, or think something.

Raise your voice and ask the questons. It’s time to stop the silence.

Thanks again for reading

Adam

What it’s all about

In order to raise funds for 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. 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!
