I'm supporting youth mental health - and Getting Wild to do it!
This August, I’m teaming up with a bunch of determined miners to head into the rugged Aussie bush for a good cause – raising funds for Youth Focus, which provides vital mental health and vocational support for young Western Australians.
This challenge means more to me than just blisters and bush tracks. My involvement is deeply personal. I understand the mental health battle – I’ve been to the edge, lost all confidence, and found myself completely stuck at home. But I also know it’s possible to come back. To transform. And to become someone others can look to for hope.
I want to help give young people the tools to do just that – to find their strength, to transform, and to thrive.
I’m aiming to raise $15,000 to support this important work. If you’re able to donate, big or small, I’d be so grateful. Every bit helps me get closer to my goal – and helps Youth Focus reach more young people in need.
Thank you for your support – and wish me luck in the wild!
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
