Support My Walk for Mental Health Research
Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?
In fact, every day in Australia, 9 people will die by suicide.
Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them.
This October, I’ll be taking part in One Foot Forward to help reduce the impact of mental illness and suicide.
I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute, so that they can put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.
It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.
Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.
Having worked in psychology and witnessed the challenge people face, I extend my heartfelt solidarity to those grappling with mental health. Self-care, the support of loved ones, and organisations like the Black Dog Institute offer hope and remind us we're not alone. Mental health should not be a solitary struggle; it's a shared voyage, where empathy, understanding, and compassion guide us. Let's unite against stigma, increase awareness of mental health, and be the change, ensuring no one walks this path alone. I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone.
