I’m walking in solidarity this October for Australians affected by mental illness and suicide. You are not alone. I have personally struggled with mental ill health for a long time, 10+ years now. While I am doing okay now, it is something that is always present. At first, like many people, I was ashamed and embarassed to talk about it, even with close friends and family. But the longer that I have lived with this the more I see that talking, and especialyl listening, can be so helpful to others who are suffering. So now I have no problems at all with telling people about my struggles and also the tools I have used to help. A couple of those that tend to have some shame associated with them are medication (anti-depressants for me), and therapy. I have been on anti-depressants for about as long as I have had diagnosed depression and they have been an immense help. Until recently I have also regularly spoken with a pyschologist, and the only reason I have put that on hold is because of cost of living/finanical pressures. Having a professional that can listen and help provide tools is invaluable!

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of mental illness each year?

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute to 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.
