B-team ft WA push it to the limit
This June, we're taking on The Push-Up Challenge from June 5-28, 2024, to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health in Australia. The importance of supporting mental health initiatives cannot be overstated.
Mental health issues are a significant concern in Australia. Recent data shows that 42.9% of Australians aged 16-85 have experienced a mental disorder at some point in their lives, with 21.5% experiencing a mental disorder in the past year alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common, affecting 17.2% of people in this age group (Australian Bureau of Statistics) (AIHW). Moreover, mental health challenges are particularly acute among young adults, with 38.8% of those aged 16-24 experiencing a mental disorder in the last 12 months (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
Supporting mental health is crucial because untreated mental health issues can lead to severe consequences, including reduced quality of life, increased risk of physical health problems, and in the worst cases, suicide. In 2021-2022, almost $12.2 billion was spent on mental health services in Australia, highlighting the substantial resources required to address these issues (AIHW).
By participating in The Push-Up Challenge, you can help make a difference. Every push-up and every dollar raised contributes to better mental health outcomes across the country. You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page or joining a team to be part of this meaningful challenge. Together, we can #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia.
