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

I Matter Co. - 20 Hours of Silence for Youth Mental Health.

I’m taking on the 20 Hours for 20Talk Challenge which will see me sitting in a 2×2 metre square in a warehouse, alongside 400 other participants, with no talking and no technology for 20 hours. All I’ll have are the essentials I bring with me: a chair, sleeping mat, journal, water, and food. No distractions.

So why am I doing this?

Hi my name is Tiara and I am 20 years old. As someone who deals with anxiety on a daily basis I know how overwhelming and challenging life can feel. I want to ensure no one ever feels alone and knows that the world is a better place with them.
