Miner V Wild 2026

I'm supporting youth mental health

This August, I am joining a group of dedicated miners to embark on a unique fundraiser to support youth mental health.

Venturing into the rugged Australian bush, we'll be putting our skills to the test in the wilderness to raise vital funds for Youth Focus, to provide more mental health and vocation support services to young Western Australians.

I am aiming to fundraise $15,000 for this important cause. Please help me by making a donation, large or small, through my page. All will go a long way to helping me reach my target. Thank you, I really appreciate your support.

"The need for youth mental health support has never been greater, with 40% of young people experiencing mental health challenges in the past 12 months.

Miner v Wild challenges participants to test their own mental and physical limits. But just like the young people we support, they can't do it on their own.

Your support of Miner v Wild will help Youth Focus raise much needed awareness – and funds – helping us to provide mental health services for young people, when and where they need it." – Derry Simpson Youth Focus CEO

For almost 30 years, Youth Focus has been providing mental health counselling and support services to young people aged between 12-25 years old, making a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of families. In 2023/2024 Youth Focus supported 3,707 young people with 22,290 occasions of service.

Youth Focus is the only non-government youth specialist mental health service in Western Australia that offers young people early intervention mental health counselling and support, without referral and at no cost to them or their families.

At Youth Focus we aim to create a community in which young people feel safe reaching for support, and that high-quality services are available when they do. We want this to be the reality for all young people, everywhere in Western Australia. Our services are accessible, evidence-based, and youth-specific and include:

  • Counselling for a wide variety of mental health and wellbeing challenges, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, school stress, body image and eating disorders, and suicidal ideation
  • Education and community engagement
  • Vocational support for work and study goals
  • Support for communities impacted by suicide, natural disasters, and other crises
