I'm supporting youth mental health
This August, I’m joining a group of dedicated miners to take on a tough physical and mental challenge, all in support of youth mental health.
We’ll be heading into the bush to put ourselves to the test and raise vital funds for Youth Focus, a Western Australian organisation that provides mental health and vocational support services to young people aged 12-25.
Working in the mining industry, I’ve seen firsthand how mental health challenges impact not just individuals, but also their families, teams and entire communities. While we’ve come a long way in raising awareness and having more open conversations, there’s still a need for better access to support, assistance and early intervention, both on site and in the wider community.
By supporting youth mental health early, we can help prevent bigger struggles down the track and contribute to a stronger, healthier future for young people and the teams and communities we work and live in.
I am aiming to fundraise $15,000 for this important cause. Please help me by making a donation through my page.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support.
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
