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

20Hours of Silence for Youth Mental Health

I am participating in the 20Hours challenge for 20Talk. 20Talk is a charity that supports youth mental health, to raise funds for their cause I and hundreds of others will be sitting in 2x2 meter boxes in silence for 20 hours. No technology. No talking.

The 20Hour challenge symbolises the isolation and loneliness that people who are struggling with mental health may experience.

Whether personally or indirectly, mental health affects everyone. Suicide is the leading cause of death for young people aged 15-44. 20Talk aims to provide education and prevention services to young people, to reduce stigma and increase accessibility. Hoping to empower young Australians, 20Talk is creating a community that changes the narrative around mental health, giving young people the tools they need to thrive.

Your donations will go towards:

- Improving and increasing 20Talk’s relatable prevention campaigns

- Providing young people with mental health maintenance courses, $200 can allow a young person to learn how to cope with mental health and prevent crisis.

- Running interactive mental health events for young people

Thank you for taking the time to read this and donate to the cause! Hopefully our contribution can help change someone’s life.

Donate to shut me up for 20 hours!!!
