Hey Everyone :)
In order to raise funds for mental health charity 20Talk which I am so passionate about not only for my own personal growth but through my professional work in this field, 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 (which for anyone who knows me will be difficult because I loveee 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; specifically for me when I got diagnosed almost 10 years ago with an Eating Disorder, Body Dysmorphia & Depression. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting. Thankfully through alternative coaching & healing, I’ve come out the other side feeling more empowered & inspired to help other however unfortunately that’s not the case for everyone.
Structurally, the statistics are still alarming..
- Suicide still remains the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-44.Â
- 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 course
- 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.Â
If you ever need to chat, I’m always here. Love you all and thanks again! 🩷
