Help to support mental health in Australia by donating!
I'm completing 3,249 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
You can show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to my page.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
Research has found that:
- Rates of hospitalisations for intentional self-harm are consistently higher for young people.
- The highest rates in 2021-22 were recorded for females ages 15-19.
- In 2022, 3249 Australians reportedly died from suicide.
- Males are 3x more likely to die by suicide than females.
- More than half of all deaths by suicide in 2022 (55%) occurred in middle aged people (aged 30-59).
Supporting Lifeline
Lifeline exists to ensure no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone.
We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
Experience shows us it is through connection that we can find hope. With Australians struggling with cost-of-living pressures, increasing inflation, housing insecurity, global instability, and recovery after extreme weather events, our crisis support services have remained in high demand with our voice and text services receiving up to 4,000 contacts a day from help seekers. Our partnership with The Push Up Challenge has played a vital role in raising funds to support the delivery of suicide prevention and crisis support services at a time where we have never been needed more.
