​​​PROJECT BENEFITS

This is a great project because it:

 

1. Raises much-needed funds for ARH Mental Health Research.   Today’s research is tomorrow’s treatment and cures

2. Offers an opportunity to raise awareness of and support to those in our community experiencing mental health issues

3. Helps break down the barriers and stigma associated with mental ill health ​

​​

​“ABOUT THE WALK”

​

The “point of difference” is that the walk is not a race.

It is a family occasion offering an organised “fun” walk 

​

The inaugural Lift the Lid Walk was held in Mooloolaba in October 2016 and has grown to

include hundreds of participants at over 30 locations across Australia and raised

over $500,000 for mental health research so far.​​
