A feel-good challenge like One Foot Forward gets people moving, motivated and mindful while connecting their efforts to a greater cause.
Champion healthy habits and really walk the walk. One Foot Forward is a way to promote both physical and mental wellbeing in the daily routine of your organisation.
Chances are that your team members have been impacted by mental illness. Investing in a shared cause is a great way to open the conversation and show your team and network what’s really important.
A daily team challenge with shared goals is a great way to stay connected each day in Mental Health Month. You’ll also be working towards a meaningful outcome with real impact.

Walking together. Standing together. Stronger together.
Not sure where to start? We've got a plan for that...
- Lead by example. Take the first step. When they see you walking the walk, they’ll be more excited to walk with you. Get outside, log your KM, raise some funds - the rest will come.
- Speak up. Post on your internal communications channels, spread the word on LinkedIn, email your stakeholders. Show your network that you back mental health.
- Make it fun. Set your staff up in teams to participate. Create competitions. Offer prizes, rewards and incentives. Host a weekly lunch for engaged staff or morning coffee run to get some steps in.
- Make it easy. Try walk and talk meetings, or an extended lunch break for walking time. Build in ways your staff can join in, on the clock.
- Put your money where your mental health is. Dollar match your most active employee’s fundraising efforts - or, better yet, the whole team! Reward your team’s commitment to creating an impact by doubling it.
