One in five Australians will experience mental ill-health this year and only 46% of people seek help.
The Push-Up Challenge is celebrating its 7th year in 2024 and is Australia’s largest mental health and fitness event, committed to creating mental health awareness and helping people level up their mental fitness. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Australians take up the challenge to complete a set number of push-ups that represent the number of lives lost to suicide in Australia.
Our headspace Newcastle team has committed to completing 3,249 push-ups in 24 days, from 5th-28th June, representing the number of lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2022.
