To the beginning

There’s a lot o subtle & big ticket strife that eat at all of us in this current day & age. In a would ware everything we know to how we operate & interact is changing @ a faster then perceived rate.  The depressive tole on love’d ones, frends ,family, co-workers & the every day person. Is to startling & obvious to ignore. I chose to pe part of the solution. By taking part in this charity event. Hopedaly to raid awareness & some much needed help for thows in strife. Hopefully thease 2%ers we do will all add up & make for a bigger difference for all. Thanks for any donations you can give to help the fundraising for mental health & if ya don’t have a coin. Have a chat to some one to see how there genuinely doing. Thanks eh

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!
