We invite you to support our mission in two impactful ways: ▶ Sponsor Us: Make a tax-deductible donation to our fundraising page. Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia. ▶Join Us: Whether you're a friend, family member, or just enthusiastic about the cause, you can join our team! *If 3,249 push-ups sound daunting, don't worry. You can set your own goal, even half the target, or substitute push-ups with other exercises. Feel free to ask me any questions, and... a word of warning: start doing a few push-ups beforehand! Last year, I went in cold, and it was a shock to the system!. 💪 😖 Your participation and support can help save lives and promote mental well-being. 💪❤️ #ThePushUpChallenge #MentalHealthAwareness #LifelineAustralia #Fundraising #PushForBetter #ClarkeMurphyPrint #CMP #CMPforyouandme #DrupaPushUps?

Why Grassroots Charities Are Vital for Mental Health and Community Resilience... In recognition of #WorldMentalHealthDay, my latest article, published yesterday, highlights the essential role grassroots charities play in supporting mental health and building stronger communities. Unlike larger organisations, grassroots initiatives, like #VillagehoodAustralia, offer personalised, community-driven solutions. Our peer support programs provide mothers facing mental health challenges with a safe space to connect and heal, making a lasting impact on individuals and society. Grassroots charities are agile, cost-effective, and deeply rooted in their communities, but they often struggle with limited funding. Now, more than ever, it’s critical to invest in these local initiatives to create long-term social and economic benefits. If you or your organisation would like to support our mission of improving #maternalmentalhealth, let’s connect! Together, we can expand our impact and ensure no mother faces her mental health challenges alone. You can find the article here: https://lnkd.in/gy9nW2HX

As part of both HPA Group and the Amberley Volunteer Fire Brigade, this weekend has left me feeling absolutely humbled. The brigade often responds to mental health related calls, and these calls take a real toll on us as volunteers, especially when we feel so powerless to help. A fire; put water on it. A car crash; we have the tools to do the work we need. But the mental health calls, we want to prevent them rather than be the fire truck at the bottom of the cliff. As a brigade, we wanted to achieve three things; generate as many donations as possible for #IAMHOPE, spread the message about how prolific these incidents are and where to get help and lastly to work together as a brigade to do something great for our community. HPA Group was the Gold Sponsor of #SwimforHope, which shows the kind of workplace we are. We care about each other, we know our team and support and develop each other. A huge thank you to HPA, without your support of my volunteering, I wouldn’t be able to help the community in the way I do. 24 hours swimming was incredibly tough, but as a team, looking out for our mates, it was easy. And this philosophy relates directly to the construction sector workplace. #MatesInConstruction have been sharing the message. Our sector has a disproportionate huge percentage of national yearly totals of suicide and cases of depression. How can you help to fix the problem? Firstly, get to know your team, not just their name and what they do for you, but what is their sons birthday, what is there home life like, what does a bad day look like for them. Don’t follow some check sheet to formulate how to do this; be a real person, a real leader, a real mate. Be a real human. Secondly, do something when you know they’re not right. The first part of this is creating a workplace people actually enjoy, provide the motivation, tools and staff that people enjoy coming to work for. The second part is if you see them struggling, talking to them on a real level. Get out from behind your desk and find somewhere they feel comfortable, be it walking around site, at the bar or over the phone. Try to understand what they are feeling and do what you can to help them through. Services like 1737 do great for adults, and I Am Hope does just the next level for under 25s. They provide free counselling for anyone that asks, and you’ll be in front of a councilor within 2-3 days. That’s why we chose to donate towards I Am Hope for this event. You see, if you have a bad day at work, if you don’t feel valued at your work, or have things going on unresolved, you tend to take it home and not give the kids the attention they need and demand to flourish in life. They need the help. We can’t help the kids as workplace leaders, but I Am Hope can. If you feel the urge, please visit givealittle and search for Amberley Swim for Hope. But lastly, have a think about your team and ask, am I being a good leader? Cheers for the support from everyone!
