Why I swim
I'm swimming to demonstrate how mental health is actually received. The metamorphis is a book that tells the tale of the change in attitude and behaviour of friends and family in the event of mental health. Another item is our shortage of psychiatrists. For an admin worker to instruct you to call back in a year, and we will "try" get you in, is unacceptable. To not address this issue, our government is negligent.
I'm swimming to save lives
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need.
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.
I’m taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
