Help me make it meaningful
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year. With symptoms like depression, anxiety, PTSD as well as Complex PTSD and with so many of us going undiagnosed and living in constant fight and flight mode it takes it toll. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.
So this year I am choosing to do Dry July to raise funds for mental health, unfortunately we all know many people struggling mentally due to personal challenges in their lives and one of the coping mechanisms people turn to often is alcohol.
That’s why I’m choosing to give it up for the whole month of July to support the Black Dog Institute. Every dollar raised will support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
