Support R U OK? in the stunning Bay of Fires Tasmania is a trekkers dream, famed for its fresh air, spectacular scenery and unique wildlife - you will be enthralled and inspired every step of the way. This challenge will take you through diverse Tasmanian landscapes, as you trek along endless stretches of secluded beaches with fiery rocky headlands, wander through forests with hidden waterfalls and marvel at striking coastlines with pristine water. In December 2023 we will embark on the R U OK? Bay of Fires Trek, one of Australia’s greatest natural beauties. We cover 35 kilometres over 4 days. Their mission is to empower people to meaningfully connect and lend support by building the motivation, confidence and skills of help-givers to start conversations with anyone struggling with life. But we need your support. The funds you raise on the R U OK? Bay of Fires Trek 2023 will go towards funding nation-wide campaigns to help better prepare people to look out for their mates and have life-changing conversations. R U OK?’s vision is a world where we're all connected and protected from suicide.

Opening conversations around suicide is vital to increase awareness and help prevent suicide in our communities – but knowing exactly how to do that can be daunting. Over 10 million Australian adults are estimated to know someone who has died by suicide. One in two young people are impacted by suicide by the time they turn 25 and around 8-9 lives are lost by suicide every day.

The Prevention in Practice Summit is a new event being hosted by Everymind, in partnership with members of the Wellbeing and Prevention Coalition in Mental Health, HMRI Healthy Minds Research Program and the Manna Institute. The one-day event is focused on bridging the knowledge-to-practice gap in the prevention of mental ill-health and will bring together leaders in policy, research and practice from across Australia. Attendees will be provided with an opportunity to contribute to national priority setting and sharing of best-practice examples.

Help turn the tide on youth mental health Splash the Stigma brings our community together to raise vital funds for youth mental health whilst getting active, having fun and taking on a challenge. Too often stigma stands in the way of young people getting help, and the consequences can be devastating - suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. All funds raised through Splash the Stigma will go to batyr to provide life-changing mental health education for high school students. Choose your swim distance and complete your challenge throughout February! Dive in this February and let’s splash the stigma!
