20 Hours For 20Talk

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

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME !!!! I WONT LET YOU DOWN !!!!

aristo let me know that this was still competitive and that everyone was going to donate to him and that his rewards were better than mine which was not true . well its still competitive but ive always thought i did some pretty awesome drawintgs . i think it would be really really really funny if i took over his account and i think i could write some really nice things if everyone donated to my page . posting my convincing argument now :)

They Are Putting Me In The Square Again

hi guys !!!!!!!! mr dk lowebottomy here . so apparently last time a cyclone scheduled itself right as i was about to take root in my square which was really rude,. it also blew all my login details away which ive heard aristo did something about (thumbs up) . luckily we have been given a second cyclone-free chance SO IM BACK TAKING ON THE 20 Hours for 20Talk CHALLENGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally. officially. we will see me sitting in a 2m squared square with no talking and no technology for 20 hours. if you have any cyclone relatives please tell them not to show up .

So why am I doing this?

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

This challenge is a small glimpse into 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.

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. Your generous donations go towards:

- Every $120 puts a young person through a one-day Mental Health Maintenance course
- Expanding 20Talk’s online resources and 60,000+ social media community
- Running large-scale interactive mental health events'

What is Mental Health Maintenance?
Mental Health Maintence (MHM) is a free, one-day workshop designed with industry experts to help individuals better understand and engage with different areas of their wellbeing, as well as learn effective ways to monitor them. MHM is designed to support people by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to maintain their mental wellbeing before reaching crisis point. By improving mental health literacy, removing harmful stigma, and encouraging professional help-seeking, this workshop hopes to prevent people from reaching crisis in the first place.
