Hayley and Matthew are running a Marathon for Mental Health in November!
2020 has been a tough year for all of us – we’ve been isolated from friends and family, missed significant events, and forced into new ways of working and living. For many, this year has taken a substantial toll on mental health and made us realise how vulnerable we all can be to feelings of anxiety, stress, loneliness and despair.
It's made us particularly aware of how important it is for us to feel safe in our conversations about our mental health. Sometimes this is with a friend, family member or partner. Other times it's with a professional to help us learn about ourselves, support us and get back on track.
In any given year, 1 in 5 Australians will experience symptoms of mental illness. That's 5 million Australians each year, with only 2 million accessing help.
This means 3 million Australians are battling mental health issues on their own – something we’d like to change!
We are raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, a research-based charity which works to create a mentally healthier world for everyone through evidence-informed programs where it is needed most.
2020 has certainly been a marathon from a mental health perspective, and we’d love your support to help us finish strong together!
Thanks so much
