It’s all in your mind

This year, I decided to do something different for my birthday — I’ve joined this challenge to raise funds for youth mental health in Australia.

As many of you know, I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. Moving from Colombia to Australia had a big impact on me personally. I’ve grown and changed for the better, and one of the most valuable lessons Australia has taught me is the importance of being aware of and open about our mental health.

It’s so important to reach out to friends and family for support. Unfortunately, many young people don’t have these connections — and that’s why 20Talk plays such a vital role, providing support and education to young Australians.
