SQUASH THE STIGMA

Whether it is through personal experience, media coverage or word of mouth, we are all aware of the impact poor mental health can have on rangatahi, and the issues that they are facing are diverse and complex. Sponsor me to play six hours of continuous squash so that your son, daughter, nephew, niece, friend or family member have the support they need. I am raising funds for Youthline Otago to fund their next volunteer training cohort, which will enable them to continue providing crucial support to the rangatahi of Otago and Aotearoa.

The national Youthline Helpline provides an essential support service and with ASB’s support, this service is now available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What many people don’t realise is the national Helpline is also supported by volunteers from Youthline Centres across Aotearoa. Each Centre is responsible for funding their own team of volunteers, which includes recruitment, training, and ongoing supervision.

Please donate to help me raise money for Youthline Otago.
