STAND TOGETHER FOR YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH
Young people are facing a significant mental health crisis. We can all play a part. Mental health challenges can affect anyone, but childhood and adolescence are critical years for prevention, early support and connection.
75% of mental illnesses have their onset before the age of 25 years. (Source)
Young people aged 16 - 24 have the highest rate of 12-month mental disorders, the highest of any age group. (Source)
More than two in five young Australians (15-25) feel lonely (Source)
These statistics tell the same story: young people need us to stand with them. That's what Stand Together is all about. A simple pair of socks can start a conversation. It says, 'You're not alone.'
This October, Mental Health Month, we're bringing families, friends, workplaces, schools, sporting clubs and communities together to make youth mental health visible.
Put on your socks. Start a conversation. Show your support.
ONE PAIR OF SOCKS. ONE MESSAGE. A WHOLE MOVEMENT.
Grab your Stand Together socks and wear them proudly this October.
Your socks are more than something to wear. They're a visible statement that youth mental health matters.
