24 days - 24 dips to raise awareness for Mental Health
Hej! Great seeing you supporting our splashing initiative!
This year was very different in many ways and the topic of mental health has become a global one. Not only hospital beds became a scarce resource since the beginning of the year, but the outbreak of the pandemic also shed light on the critical need for further investments in accessible mental health services, a chronically under-sponsored and under-financed sector.
Lockdown Christmas honestly challenges all of us but can be especially tough for children of families who struggle with mental health problems.
We are Mona, a PHD student in clinical psychology at UZH and Kristin, an IT solution consultant at Salesforce who came together to raise money for Institut Kinderseele Schweiz (IKS) , a national foundation who is supporting children of parents with mental health issues.
We want society to wake up. That’s why we challenge ourselves to dip 24 times in Zurich’s cold waters during the Christmas period in order to bring awareness to this important topic and raise money for IKS at the same time.
What can you do to help us? You come and join for a dip and are very much invited to donate here. For especially generous donations we will dive in from the bridge. Promised ;)
The great thing is, every cent donated will be doubled by Salesforce!
Thanks a lot for your help <3
