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.
When navigating health care don’t give up just keep pushing forward! Keep your faith, keep fighting and keep searching for someone who hears you! My oldest of five sons, a paramedic was prescribed meds and diagnosed after a breakdown with ptsd, adhd and depression five years ago. Since then his episodes have escalated so we’ve fought to find answers, to rediagnose, to check medications which I believe have added to his symptoms. After a recent episode he was hospitalized on the day our walk started and now been diagnosed with bipolar. His being weaned off the meds that were wrong for him so we are hoping for a better outcome . Keep going, keep speaking up, know everyone is different. Find the help that feels right for you because you matter and you deserve it! My walk this year has been a mixture of exhaustion yet I keep pushing through with faith as my fuel. Mental Health can be complex and research is needed to find a more easily available support system! Together anything is possible! 💙💪🏼🙏
