Why I swim
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. More than 1 in 3 young people are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million aren’t getting the support they need. This cause hits incredibly close to home for me. I’m someone who has lived with mental illness throughout my life, and some of the closest people to me have struggled with mental illness also. I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel, and how important it is to have somewhere safe to turn when things feel like too much.

ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.
