Su***de.
1 person every 43 seconds.
Almost 2,000 per day.
720,000 per year.
They are the numbers of people that end their life every single year on this planet. Let’s talk about it. There needs to be more support and better help through our medical system. We are losing people we know. It’s not just “that will never happen to me” - it’s happening to us. Get around people who are struggling. Connection is one of the biggest factors when it comes to this, we thrive connections as humans but once we get to a point, we push it away which creates a downward spiral. People self isolating might need you more than you think.

The SAFE ZONE! What is it? You’re probably thinking what is he talking about? Tomorrow I’m going to do a post that can change your life. I will teach you about the ‘safe zone’ and living in it. Something I didn’t know existed or could have ever felt.

Great night at the Country to Coast QLD Clinical Societies Primary Care ALL IN for First People’s Health evening. Was great to get out, network naturally without agenda and meet .75 who grounded us with the Yidaki. Was really good to hear from some elders and traditional custodians of the land and learn all about what’s happening in the clinical space for First Nations people on the Sunshine Coast. My highlight was the future of birthing on country and what plans are happening in the background to ensure this option is available as it has been used for thousands of years before us.

I also want to offer my inbox open to anyone who wants to discuss this and or is looking for some help! 🫶

Massive thanks to Kendall Hatcher MP for having me along to meet and chat to Laura Ge**er MP Minister for Youth Justice and Victim Support and Minister for Corrective Services to talk about our experience with youth crime on the southern end of the coast and in particular the assault W* endured, during it, the police response and since being a victim of crime as a family. It was a really honest open conversation that was welcomed by all. For everyone that has been a victim of youth crime I tried to put forth our experience as best as possible so the people making the decisions and doing their best to change things, hear us. has been extremely great support through all of this and gone above and beyond!

So I've kept it a little secret but I am now studying a dual diploma in Mental Health and AOD's (Alcohol and other Drugs) to enable me to have the clinical knowledge to start the 'My Yawa Health Facility'. I'm wanting to create an amazing space where people struggling can have somewhere to go after seeing their GP or being knocked back from a mental health ward and not necessarily fitting the mould for a rehabilitation centre - I have plenty of ideas of how this can work but it doesn't work without funds! So to celebrate my study and taking the steps to get my life back on track as they say, I've started a fundraiser for "10k steps a DAY in MAY! for Mental Health". Get fit, join the challenge and follow along on the the My Yawa instagram or Facebook. (you can make it a smaller amount if needed)

If your competitive like me, you can start a go fund me for your own social followers to support you through this and raise some much needed money for mental health that will stay on the Sunshine Coast and help those in your community. I have started one for me and anyone else that would like to get involved or make a donation to the 'My Yawa Health Facility'. There isn't any admin fees or anything like that, these funds are going straight to the facility I am destined to create.

I have just done 11,261 steps a day for the last week to show you that if I can do it then you can too!

We have lost too many locals lately and alot of people are struggling so if you can, lets do our little bit to give back to something where we at My Yawa genuinely want to to be in the trenches with those in crisis.

Here's the link to the Go Fund me or please create your own so you can keep a track of where you are at and let's get walking!
