Run4Life

Run4Life is a feel-good running event raising money to prevent youth suicide. To join in, all you have to do is run throughout the month of July while you fundraise to support ReachOut Australia. Every dollar you raise goes towards helping young people experiencing mental health challenges, and you’ll be improving your own health and wellbeing too. ReachOut is there for young people – 24/7. They offer practical tools, tips and advice that helps young people handle whatever life throws at them. They can even help them feel better when they’re not sure what the problem is. ReachOut helps young people be well and stay well, provides connection and shared stories through peer support, and builds confidence to seek professional help if needed. More than that, they also help young people by providing information, peer support, one-on-one telephone support for parents and carers, and resources for schools and educators. Last year, ReachOut provided support to more than 3.6 million people, but until the youth suicide rate is zero, it’s not enough. By taking part in Run4Life you’ll be helping raise much-needed funds to reach more young people in need of help.

WayAhead Workplaces Annual Members Forum

Lendlease Barangaroo Lendlease Barangaroo, Tower Three, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo

“In this new uncertain world with the face and shape of work forever changed, how can the workplace support mental health and wellbeing?” This is the first time our members have been together since the pandemic began. So much has changed both in the world and within workplaces. The way we work has changed, the state in which we work has changed. The division between work and home is more blurred than ever before. And now more than ever we are existing in a constant state of uncertainty, which brings about an element of, at minimum unease, if not anxiety for many. So what does this mean for employers? How can workplaces support mental health and wellbeing with workers being remote? Have the psychosocial risk factors that exist in the workplace changed now that what is considered a “workplace” has moved well beyond office walls? During this event, we will hear from those who have supported many throughout this disruption, from members and how they have coped, from people with lived experience and have the time to come together as a network to discuss all these themes and many more.
