20Talk Challenge

When's the last time you spent 20 hours in silence with no distractions?

The 20Hours for 20Talk challenge is designed to give people a small, controlled experience of something most of us avoid, extended isolation & silence to build empathy for people dealing with chronic loneliness.

On the 27th of June, I’ll be sitting in a 2×2 metre space, for 20 hours With just a chair, water, journal and silent time to think & as someone who struggles to 'relax' and 'do nothing' It's going to be a tough ask.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among Australian's aged 15-24 and a lot of the pain comes from a lack of connection to family, friends & community. Mental health impacts all of us in some way & luckily for me I have great people by my side but for many, that safety net doesn't exist or the support is simply too little too late.

20Talk focuses on prevention, helping people build the tools, awareness, and confidence to look after their mental health before it reaches a crisis point.

If you’d like to support my $1,000 fundraising goal, I’d really appreciate it. Even a small contribution can make a measurable difference.
