Young people need you
Right now, more than 40% of young people in Australia are currently experiencing mental health difficulties, but there’s an even bigger problem. Over 1 million of them aren't accessing professional support because they simply don't know where to turn.
That’s where your workplace can change things for the better by raising essential funds to support ReachOut’s services which will:
Provide one-on-one peer support for young people to connect with someone who understands them.
Build a supportive community through safe, anonymous and moderated online forums.
Create evidence-backed resources on a wide range of issues and experiences that young people may face.
Don’t just take it from us. Hear from some of our workplace champions.
The GPT Foundation
At GPT, we believe in ReachOut's mission to provide support to young peoples’ mental health during their most crucial and challenging times. By matching donations for Laps for Life, we’re not only amplifying the impact of every dollar raised but also encouraging people to participate in a challenge that supports their own wellbeing. This event is crucial for raising awareness and driving positive impact in communities across Australia.
Dave Moreton
The GPT Group
GPT has been a long-standing supporter of ReachOut through the Foundation and has actively engaged with several initiatives to help raise awareness of the impacts of mental health on young people.
As a father of three (now) older children, I’ve been familiar with the risks and challenges surrounding mental health that our youth can be exposed to and have great respect for the services ReachOut provides. My engagement has been to help raise funds for the charity, whilst also shining a light within my direct work and social groups on the need to support this cohort. I have supported the Laps for Life event over the last 4 years which helps me combine a focus of my own mental health as well as my own physical wellbeing through active swimming.
