31 for Mental Health

For my birthday this year (26 May), I'm raising funds for mental health, inspired by my personal journey battling mental health challenges, which has continuously encouraged me to push for change. My own struggles have taught me the power of speaking up; of breaking through the suffocating silence that stigma imposes.

While I know you are all itching to spoil me with fancy presents, let's instead channel that generosity into smashing the stigma around mental health, and encouraging others to speak up too - the best present I could ask for!

Beyond Blue

Beyond Blue's mission is to equip everyone in Australia with the knowledge and skills to achieve their best possible mental health, whatever their age and wherever they live. We give people the confidence to support those around them, and make anxiety, depression and suicide part of everyday conversations. And as well as tackling stigma, prejudice and discrimination, we're breaking down the barriers that prevent people from speaking up and reaching out.
