20 Talk fundraiser

The transition into adulthood can be overwhelming, and too many young people feel lost when it comes to mental health support. 20Talk exists because the current system often feels confusing and unrelatable, leaving people unsure of who to trust. This cause is deeply personal to me, as people very close to my heart face mental health challenges every day, and their experiences are the reason I’m passionate about raising funds and being part of this program.

In March I’ll be taking part in 20 Talk, sitting in a 2x2 square metre box with no phones, no verbal or physical communication and nothing but my thoughts. I will be put into a position to sit with my thoughts for 20 hours and raise money for mental health. 

I am wanting to raise $1000 before March and any support would be absolutely amazing. 

I would love for you to follow my journey before the big day!

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!
