WHAT IS ODD SOCKS DAY?

Reducing the stigma of mental ill-health and raising awareness of this serious issue, while having some fun, is what Odd Socks Day is all about!

We want to encourage as many people in your organisation as possible to openly discuss mental ill-health issues, just as you would with a physical injury or any other health issue.

When you wear odd socks you’ll be helping GROW raise awareness of mental health issues and help to stamp out the stigma around mental ill-health. By wearing a pair of Odd Socks you’re on your way to starting the conversation about mental wellbeing.

How your fundraising efforts will help.

We know one in seven young people aged 4 to 17 years experience mental health condition in any given year (BeyondBlue). Adults too have been significantly affected by the stress and crisis brought on by life events – in particular natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic and the social, emotional and financial hardships associated with it.

GROW delivers unique resilience programs for youth (11-17 years) and adults experiencing mental distress or crisis with short courses delivered weekly by specially trained program workers in a safe and confidential community.

Your fundraising efforts will assist us to continue to deliver these important prevention and early intervention programs to those most in need.
