Iona College Geelong
In June, our Community is taking part in The Push-Up Challenge. We are going to help shine the spotlight on the number of lives lost to suicide in 2022 and raise awareness of mental health. You can create a team in this Community, join a team or support someone who is taking part. Help us push for better mental health.
What we want is for every student and staff member to join at whatever level they are able to. If push ups aren't your thing, maybe you can do a sit up, or a squat, or a lunge... any exercise that represents getting yourself back up again when you're down.
Even if you can't do the entire challenge we want you to set your own challenge and contribute whatever you can. Every push up you do is one we can't do as a team without you.
When you join it is another way of saying to your community that you're interested in mental health and doing something to help others. Who knows, maybe seeing this interest might help someone you know who is in need know they can reach out to you.
