Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because the easier it is for young people to access mental health support the earlier they are likely to seek help. Addressing issues at an early stage helps prevent more serious outcomes later. ReachOut's online services include a library of resources for young people and their parents and carers as well as one-to-one support from peer workers with lived experience of mental health issues.
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.
