We’re swimming to save lives!
As health-care professionals, we see and treat youth, adolescent and young adults struggling with mental health and suicidal thoughts on a daily basis and we witness how consuming and debilitating it can be on individuals.
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia? That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.
This March, the Tenterfield Turtles are swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring our challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
Our Impact
So far this year we helped provide...
2048
Young people with vital mental health support.
