We need to raise awareness of the serious mental health issues we face in all areas of our communities including return servicemen, schools, homes and workplaces.
We need to encourage people to “join the conversation” about mental health and break down the stigma that continues to plague our society.
We need to find a way so people are more comfortable to discuss and seek help for their mental health issues.
Let's start by walking and talking together and LIFT THE LID in Mental Illness!
About the Walk
The original “WALK FOR MENTAL HEALTH” was the brainchild of passionate mental health advocate Vicki Stewart, Past President and long-time member of the Rotary Club of Mooloolaba.
After three successful years holding the event and raising much needed funds for Australian Rotary Health, we are delighted to share its evolution in 2020 into the “LIFT THE LID WALK for Mental Health.
The walk and talk format is deliberately not a race, but an opportunity to get your locals together to raise awareness of the serious mental health issues we face in all areas of our communities, schools, homes and workplaces.
