Every day, one young Australian takes their own life – that’s one too many. In Australia, one in four young people experience a mental health difficulty. But only 30% of those who need help actually get it. After friends and family, the internet is the first place young people turn to for information and support. That’s where ReachOut comes in.
ReachOut is there 24/7 – for whatever life throws at them. With tools, tips, advice for everything from dealing with exam stress to understanding how to get help for an issue that’s worrying them, ReachOut provides practical tools designed just for their needs, even when they don’t know what they’re looking for. ReachOut helps young people get well, be well and stay well, provides connection and shared stories through peer support, and builds confidence to seek professional help, if needed. In 2019, ReachOut provided support to more than 3.6 million people and prevented 300 suicides.
Laps for Life is supporting ReachOut in March, encouraging individuals or teams to get in the water and make a splash to help young people experiencing mental health issues. Laps for Life aims to spread the word and raise funds to prevent youth suicide.
Sci-Fleet Toyota is proud to support the charity of ReachOut for the month of March. We are delighted to announce that $1 from each vehicle serviced at Sci-Fleet Toyota will go towards Laps for Life.
We are aiming to raise $3,000 so make a service booking and help Sci-Fleet Toyota support Laps for Life and ReachOut.
