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

20 Hours of Silence for Youth Mental Health

On the 6th of September, I will be participating in a challenge to raise funds for youth mental health.

This challenge is called the 20 Hour challenge hosted by 20Talk, a mental health charity.

There are 400 of us completing the challenge, it starts at 4am and I will not leave a 2x2 metre square until midnight that night. With only a chair, mattress, journal and pen for 20 hours I will not be allowed to speak, leave my square or be distracted by anything other than my own thoughts.

With these conditions I attempt to replicate the isolation and struggle that someone with mental health challenges might feel every day.

I know it will be tough - physically, mentally, and emotionally - but it’s a challenge I’m taking on to stand in solidarity with those navigating these experiences.

It would truly mean so much if you were able to support me and therefore contribute to suicide prevention and youth mental health awareness.

Thank you all so much,

Love Liv 💛

Why I am Completing this Challenge

We have all been touched in some way by the reality of mental health. It can be dark, lonely, and confronting.

Structurally, the statistics are still alarming:

- Suicide 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 Challenge to help 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.
