Miner V Wild 2026

Supporting Youth Mental Health – Back for Miner v Wild Year 2!

This August, I’m heading back into the rugged Australian bush for my second Miner v Wild challenge alongside a group of dedicated miners. I absolutely love this cause and deeply believe in the profound impact every donation makes in delivering vital mental health and vocational support services to young Western Australians through Youth Focus.

Last year’s trek was a real challenge — the bush certainly tested us — but it was absolutely worth it for such an important purpose. The experience really drove home the difference these funds make for young people, and I’m keen to take it on again this year and push myself once more.

My personal goal is $30,000. Every donation, large or small, brings us closer to that target and helps create real change.

"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
