We're so excited to have you on board! Thank you so much for supporting youth mental health 💙

I'm going to be signing up for this! I was 12 when mental illness started to kick in for me, and I had no resources or support for it. So, this is very important to me and I'm excited to help out such a good cause 🥰

This week, those from regional & rural communities shared their experiences & what needs to change, with #PrinceHarry & Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex there to listen today.

If we wait for a crisis, we've waited too long; the cost of ignoring youth mental health prevention Australia is investing more in mental health services than ever before. But when it comes to preventing mental health challenges before they reach crisis point, the investment remains remarkably small...

Australia spends more on mental health than ever, but only 1% goes to prevention. That means too many young people don’t get support until crisis point.

We know prevention works. So why aren’t we investing in it?

How Location Is Shaping Young People’s Mental Health Nearly 1 in 3 young Australians live outside of major cities. Yet for many of these young people, accessing mental health support is significantly harder.

Nearly 1 in 3 young Aussies live outside major cities yet many face greater barriers to #mentalhealth support.

For some, help is hours away & others, it doesn’t feel accessible.

Next week, young people will share their experiences in their own words.
