Let's Chalk About Mental Health 2019
Donation protected
For World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2019, I'm inviting everyone to chalk messages of hope and inspiration to those struggling with their mental health.
"Let's Chalk About Mental Health" is a campaign aimed at tackling stigma, supporting sufferers of mental illness and promoting a wider conversation around mental health and suicide. Someone in the world takes their own life every 40 seconds and the latest UK suicide statistics show that deaths by suicide rose by 11.8% in 2018. More worryingly the rate of deaths among under 25s increased by 23.7%.
Anyone can take part in "Let's Chalk..." you just need chalk and somewhere to write your message.
I am giving my time completely free of charge to this campaign. However to maximise its impact and to do a professional job, I need some budget for a marketing campaign pre and post the event to include professional design and print, photography, and video production. Money raised will also help pay for promotional T shirts, gazebo hire and blackboards in case of wet weather and, of course, chalk. Suicide is not only a tragic loss of life, it devastates families and communities. Suicide is preventable so please donate what you can to this worthwhile campaign and try together to save a life. Thank you.
