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, in order to raise funds for mental health charity 20Talk.
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 harsh 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)
Your contribution goes towards 20Talk's relatable prevention campaigns. They are a mental health charity that makes education accessible, for young people by young people.
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.
Every donation helps (:
