This June, Hunter Primary Care and headspace Newcastle are taking on The Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness and vital funds for mental health. Together, we’ll be completing 3,214 push-ups in 23 days - representing the number of lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2023.
As a health and wellbeing organisation committed to supporting the wellbeing of our community, this challenge is deeply meaningful to us. Every push-up is not just a number - it's a moment to reflect, connect, and take action for better mental health.
As the lead agency for headspace Newcastle, this challenge is close to our hearts. Every push-up is an opportunity to start a conversation, break down stigma, and support the mental wellbeing of young people in our community.
