"When I was growing up, I just felt like I was wrong or different and like the world wasn't built for me. Research is the only way that the world will change". Juliette explains how movement helps with her mental health in this short film.

Sometimes, people who are struggling reach out to CRMHS for mental health care, but they have no way to pay for those services. YOUR donation helps to ensure individuals and families are cared for. We turn no one away due to an inability to pay. If you or someone you know has experienced the benefits of behavioral health services, that gift can be available to someone else with your help.

As we celebrate World Mental Health Day 2024, we are proud to highlight Mind's incredible work and the impact they’ve made. With the help of PAYA Charity’s contactless donation devices, they’ve been able to continue their life-changing efforts. Here's what Mind had to say about our contactless donation solutions: “Now that fewer people carry cash, the devices have helped us collect donations we might have missed out on with traditional bucket collections. They also allow donors to give more than just their loose change!” 💙 Mind is leading the fight for mental health, standing up for the 1 in 4 of us who face mental health challenges. From changing perceptions across England and Wales to providing essential support services, Mind is dedicated to making mental health a priority in every aspect of life. They advocate for justice, offer support, and unite communities to create a powerful movement for change. They are ensuring that more people can access the support they need, when they need it. Every donation makes a difference in the fight for mental health. 💙 Mental Health Foundation | LibertyPay - PAYA Group | Toucan Giving | Good Thyngs #WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #MindCharity #PAYACharity #MentalHealthMatters #SupportForAll #FundraisingInnovation #ContactlessDonations #ChangingMinds #TogetherForChange #DigitalFundraising

Hey, brainiacs! I'm taking part in the push up challenge for Mental Health. Here are some funny reasons why you should donate to this awesome cause: 1) Because life is hard and people need help to cope 2) Brains are squishy and mushy, but science shows you can reshape them no matter how old you get. 3) Working out keeps me sane, so I won't freak out at you 4) It's the biggest fundraising event for mental health in Australia 5) Stick one to the man and get some money back for doing good! The Push for Better Foundation is a legit charity in Australia and you can claim your donation on your taxes. (ABN 49645093349) 6) I also put my money where my mouth is, so you know it's good stuff.

SPONSOR ME: While everyone else is doing 3,249 push-ups, I’m completing 3,250. Sure, you can support someone else - but they’re not doing as many push-ups as I am. Get more push-up per dollar! Make a tax-deductible donation to my page, not one of those weaklings that are only doing 3,249. You don’t need a degree in economics to know that supporting me rather than someone who thinks that you’ll be happy with only 3,249 push-ups for your donation is a no brainer. Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives. By supporting me, you send a clear message to everyone who thinks that 3,249 is enough. Join me in saying NO to mediocre efforts. This cause is too important. Thank you for your generous support, together we can help improve and save lives by going one push-up better than everyone else. Please repost/share this to increase reach - let the world know that you believe in supporting those who go “over and above” for a good cause.

Clocking the K's for R U OK? This July, myself and the team at Pacific National will be walking/running/cycling/wheeling to raise awareness about the importance of staying connected to those around us. According to ABS statistics, about 8 people take their lives every day in Australia and sadly, for every death, it’s estimated 30 people will attempt suicide. Our goal is to support R U OK? and share the load in taking the time to ask those around us “are you ok?”. Imagine a world where we are all better protected from the risk of suicide. If you can share our ambitious challenge with your networks or even place a small donation yourself, all proceeds go toward developing R U OK resources, campaigns, research and supporting those mental health champions out there in the community. You can donate here: https://lnkd.in/gGJSATh7 Let's show each other, and Australia the life-changing power of a conversation.
