headspace Bunbury is participating in the Push Up headspace Bunbury is participating in the Push Up Challenge again and they are asking you to get involved too!

The challenge is Australia’s largest mental health and fitness event and runs from Wed 4 June to Thursday 26 June 2025.

The Push-Up Challenge is a free, virtual event that supports mental health by:
🧐 Educating: Each day of the Challenge, you'll receive a different push-up target which corresponds to an important mental health fact or statistic.
💙 Reducing stigma: The daily mental health facts facilitate conversations about mental health and encourage people to seek help when they need it.
🤝 Encouraging connection: Participants benefit from a positive team spirit and sense of camaraderie with their workmates, both virtually and in person.
🏃 Promoting fitness: Exercise has many benefits for your physical and mental health. Push-ups can be done anywhere and anytime, so it’s easy for participants to get involved.
😍 Making a difference: You can choose to raise funds for headspace Bunbury to improve mental health outcomes in our community.
 
Participants are challenged to complete 3,214 push-ups over 23 days, which represents the 3,214 lives lost to suicide in Australia in one year, according to the most recent statistics from 2023.
 
It’s a big challenge, but there are options to suit every fitness level. You can aim for the half target (1,607) or substitute push-ups with alternative exercises like sit-ups, squats, wall push ups… or a daily walk…Anything goes.

You can register and select headspace Bunbury to fundraise for: https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/register-select/?utm_term=headspace-71

For Reconciliation Week, our team had planned to s For Reconciliation Week, our team had planned to share a beautiful Reconciliation Leaf activity with the Bunbury community during the Reconciliation Walk — an opportunity to reflect, listen, and yarn together.

Although the event was cancelled due to weather, our team leaders decided to gather and participat in the activity themselves, sharing reflections and conversations around what reconciliation means to us and how we can continue walking together.

We remain deeply committed to bridging the gap, honouring truth-telling, and creating a future grounded in respect, equity, and shared hope. Every step matters.

We look forward to being able to share this activity with our community when the Reconciliation Walk is rescheduled.

Commitment to Reconciliation

Investing In Our Youth is committed to reconciliation, increasing cultural awareness, developing respectful relationships, and creating meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we work on, the Wardandi Noongar people, and pay respects to their ancestors and Elders past and present.

We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today and acknowledge your continuing connection to land, waters, and communities.

We respect the oldest, continuous living culture and are committed to working in partnership to strengthen and embed First Nation’s voices and perspectives in our decision-making, now and into the future.
