20HRS for 20TALK

I'm supporting mental health prevention by completing the 20 Hours For 20Talk Challenge on April 6th.

Hello! 

My name is Layla, and I'm going to sit in a 2 metre square box for 20 hours with no technology and no talking. Yep, you heard that right. This outrageous challenge is going to push me mentally to the limits. All I will have is my own thoughts, a journal and a chair to sit on.

So why am I doing this? 

In order to raise funds for mental health charity 20Talk. We have all been touched in some way or another by the reality of mental health. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting.

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 $300 puts a young person through a two-day Mental Health First Aid course
  • Expanding 20Talk's online resources and 60,000+ social media community
  • Running large-scale interactive mental health events

It just makes sense to support prevention. 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.

Have a good day!

Thank you

Sunday 7th Apr
I would like to personally thank everyone who donated to this fundraiser, no matter how big or small. With all of your help, we were able to meet the minimum target in 24 hours and raised over 2.5K. All the proceeds will be going towards Mental Health First Aid training and Mental Health Awareness training run by 20Talk. 

With the 20 hours now behind me, I am walking away from this experience with a renewed sense of peace and clarity in my life that I have not had in a very long time (alongside a very full journal).
