20 Hours for 20 Talk
Advertisement
20 hours of silence. For something that deserves to be talked about.
On Sunday, December 6th, I’ll be taking on the 20 Hours for 20Talk challenge, spending 20 hours in a 2×2 metre space, without speaking, without technology and without the usual distractions we use to escape our own thoughts.
I’m doing this to raise money for youth mental health, and there’s a very personal reason behind my decision.
My upbringing was incredibly challenging. There were times in my life when I was struggling with my mental health, without really understanding what I was experiencing, let alone knowing how to navigate it.
Finances were a significant barrier to accessing support, and trying to figure everything out on my own was an incredibly isolating experience.
I know what it’s like to need help and not have the resources to access it.
And I know I’m far from the only one.
With the cost of living continuing to put pressure on families, I think about how many young people are currently navigating their own challenges without the financial means, knowledge or support systems to get the help they need.
Your ability to access mental health support shouldn’t be determined by your financial circumstances.
That’s why this cause means so much to me.
20Talk is working to make mental health education and preventative support more accessible to young Australians, giving them the knowledge and tools to better understand their mental wellbeing before reaching crisis point.
I’m not doing this because I think sitting in silence for 20 hours is going to change the world.
I’m doing it because I believe that, collectively, we can make a difference to someone’s world.
My initial fundraising goal is $1,000, and I’d love your help to reach it — and hopefully go well beyond it.
If you’re in a position to donate, whether that’s $5, $20, $50 or more, I would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution matters.
And if donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this post could help it reach someone who can.
If we can help even one young person feel less alone, better understood or more equipped to navigate their mental health, that’s something worth showing up for.
Thank you for supporting something that means so much to me. ❤️
