Media
Twice as many videos are watched today than in 2015. In response to the surge in consumption, we’ve strategically moved towards media. We initiate change and remove stigma by utilising influencers in our Ambassadors20 network, post lived experience long-form interviews and inspiring educational content.
Mental Health First Aid
20talk provides Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses to both workplaces and the public. MHFA is a two-day mental health training course that improves mental health literacy and helps teach people how to navigate a crisis situation.
“Two of our close friends lost their mental health battles. No one could've seen it coming and no one knew how to react. “
“For me personally, the reason for 20talk is to hopefully prevent even just one person making that decision, and to save families and mates from having to go through the same heartache.”
