20 Hours for 20Talk | Perth September 6th

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

My Reason

Sitting within a 2m square for 20 hours in complete silence with nothing but my water bottle, my journal, a pen and my own thoughts, may be a crazy and uncomfortable prospect for some. For me, its much more. It is about making noise through silence, that we, as a developed country, are failing in our support of youth mental health. Recently, I came very close to losing someone extremely close to me to suicide. The worst part of the whole situation was that in the lead up to this happening, whilst trying to seek help for this person.... there was NONE... no one was prepared to help... until a genuine attempt had been made. To me, this highlighted the importance of early intervention and support and that the way to battle this issue is through PREVENTION. 
20 Talk is a Mental Health Charity that aligns with doing just that... providing relatable mental health education for young adults. Raising money for this incredible charity by sitting in silence for 20 hours is a small way i can ensure that their work continues doing as intended.

I wish I could donate more but I'm not working a lot at the moment. I hope you get some deep catharsis from this 20 hour block of silent solitude. I have been thinking about doing some freestyle writing and other forms of writing to get out a lot of the angst and sadness that resides within me to this day from all the shit that went down after Dad left Mum 26 years ago. I'm pretty sure I'm carrying a lot of trauma. You're a bit of an inspiration to me for doing these things. I need to act more and stop "planning" stuff. Good luck, Danica. Xxx
