JR Swim days to fight against youth suicide
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?
More young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer. Having worked in youth mental health, I know how pervasive the problem is and how, unfortunately, it's getting worse.Â
Thankfully there are amazing charities like Reach Out that offer great services (crisis support, peer support, self-help tools) to help young people.
This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need. I'm aiming to swim 2 days / week with the target of 10km for the whole month (400 laps!).Â
By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
