The Mental Health System
Federal and state MHC systems are letting us down! There’s not adequate funding or resources for public MH care, and the cost of private is unaffordable. Often public MH facilities cause more trauma to the patient because of this. Have you ever called for help for someone at risk? Unfortunately there is little transparency between clinicians and usually the person at risk knows how to stay out of the public health system. Not because they don’t want help, because they can’t access the help they need through the system. It makes no sense that someone disadvantaged by their MH problems could afford adequate care and things need to change, we can support this as a community, our political leaders won’t.I'm walking to remember those lost to suicide and help people in crisis
Tragically, every year over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life and over 3,000 Australians die by suicide.
Lifeline receives over 1 million contacts from people in crisis each year.
Suicide has devastating impact on friends and loved ones.
On World Suicide Prevention Day, I will be taking part in Out of the Shadows and walking for the 9 people lost to suicide every day.
I'm walking to raise funds for Lifeline to provide suicide prevention services and support for Australians in need.
Please support my walk and sponsor me to help those in crisis.
Together, we can ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
My impact so far
I've raised $106 so far to answer 2 calls for Lifeline's crisis support hotline to connect and bring hope to people in crisis.
With your support, we can ensure that no person has to face their darkest moments alone.
