Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a 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.

My why

I'm participating in this year's One Foot Forward challenge as a dedication to the individuals and families I have seen during my career as a psychologist to date. The strength, courage, and insights they share with me everyday, both humbles and remind me that mental health affects us all in subtle and profound ways. Anything that helps us to show up for ourselves, for our loved ones and for our communities is worth pursuing. The money raised during this campaign helps to support people on all parts of their mental health journey, prevention right through to recovery. I look forward to doing my small part beyond what I do in the counselling room. I'll bringing some playful curiousity to challenge of beginning an exercise challenge as Darwin enters the build up season! 🥵👟🥭🔥
