Brave the cold this Shorts Day
Friday 20 June is Stay ChatTY Shorts Day – and RACT is proud to once again be the official supporter.
On Friday 20 June, thousands of Tasmanians will dig out their shorts, step outside and have conversations that matter. It’s all part of Shorts Day, an annual initiative from SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY aimed at breaking down the stigma around mental health.
“This year, we’re taking it back to the core of why it matters. If we can help people better understand mental health, then we can help break down stigma, encourage help-seeking, and create real change,” says Mitch McPherson, Founder of SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY.
The idea is simple: wear shorts, start a conversation and show support for improving mental health. This day is a reminder that even small conversations can make a big difference.
“We see the impacts of mental health on Tasmanians regularly through our work – whether it’s supporting someone who has lost everything in a house fire or campaigning to reduce road trauma,” says Group CEO Mark Mugnaioni.
Whether you’re fundraising or simply raising awareness by baring your legs, your involvement could have a positive impact on the people around you.
