I’m taking on the 20-hour challenge, staying silent, confined to a 2m by 2m square with nothing but a chair, journal, and my mind to raise awareness for 20Talk, a charity that provides preventative mental health support and guidance to young adults.
I started my own mental health journey later in life, and I know now how much I would’ve benefited from this knowledge earlier. I lost one of my strongest family members to their internal battle, and while I can’t change that, I can grow, learn, and show up for those who need a reminder that they’re not alone. I’ve learned that internalising your feelings isn’t a strength. I’m not entirely okay, but I’m improving day by day, one step at a time. Learning to be open and talking when things are not good. I’m forever grateful to those who have shown me kindness and support during my lows.
This silence is my way of making space for others to speak, share, and heal.
This challenge isn’t just about silence, it’s about making noise for change. We must equip the next generation with the skills and support to face life’s challenges before they hit their low point.
Please help me support this worthy cause 🙏
