Help me make a change, and fight the stigma!
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.
That’s why I’m raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, and using my platform as a Shining Light Pageant Australia Finalist 2023 to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
As a lifelong sufferer of a psychiatric disability and knowing many friends and family members who also deal with the 'black dog' on a regular basis, I find it is vital to continue to raise awareness for something that is often so overlooked by society, and something that is considered to be so taboo. Fighting the stigma, and showing the world that there is nothing to hide. I plan to raise money and awareness for something that affects so many people around the world.
Let us all fight the stigma together!
