This month, it's time to Up Your Game to bring down youth suicide. Step up to a new physical challenge or give up something you’re a little afraid to live without.
Did you know that every month around 30 young people die by suicide?1 That’s about one young person each day, which means more young people die by suicide each year than by road accidents, cancer, or acts of violence. And nearly one in three young people who need help for their mental health aren't getting it.2
It’s pretty devastating, but by taking up the Up Your Game challenge you can help us make a bigger difference.
This May at ReachOut, we're trying to reach 50,000 young people who are on the brink and feel alone. We need them to know that ReachOut is here to help.
Step Up or Give Up this May and you'll raise funds and awareness to help bring down youth suicide in Australia.
Own a bike? Get pedalling every day for a month.
Got trainers? Get moving.
Love sweets? Cut them out.
Can’t miss your morning coffee? Ditch it.
Are you ready to join in and Up Your Game? Choose your challenge, start fundraising, and help us bring down youth suicide in Australia.
Last year, Adam cycled 4000km and helped us reach another 500 young people. Georgie gave up booze, raised money through her challenge, and helped us reach another 3500 young people.
So join us in raising cash and awareness for ReachOut, so that more young people can get the help they need where and when they need it.
Make yourself proud: Up Your Game this May.
