Suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians and accounts for the deaths of more young people than car accidents! Everyone knows that mental illness in our young people is a growing issue, however not everyone knows how to help. The youth of our community want help, however a lot of them are unsure how to reach out, or who to reach out to. However you can help turns these stats around!
The Uprising is an organisation that runs school tours, training and events that brings young people together from all across our region to bring hope to those feeling hopeless, and to not only encourage them that help is out there, but give them the numbers to call, the people to talk to, and a way to move forward. We highlight local support networks available in the youths schools and local community.
However we all know that if we want to connect with young people we need to do it in a way they can relate to. So each year we ask famous sportspersons to come along to our events and share how they got to where they are, as well as lots of other entertainment including live bands, hip hop artists, illusionists and fireworks. Some of our amazing guests have included Darius Boyd (Brisbane Broncos Captain & QLD Maroons), Zack Smith (Geelong Cats), Samu Kerevi (Australian Wallabies), Jack Reed (Brisbane Broncos & NRL Allstar, Andino (Illusionist) & Myshon Kyd (Hip Hop Artist.
This schools tours, events. training and even this app are all COMPLETELY FREE of charge to the youth, and the schools. We do not want their to be any barriers stopping youth from getting the help they desperately need. But in order to do this we need to raise the money required. The speakers, the entertainment, the set up, the schools tour, it all costs money! But we believe in our young people, and we believe in our community, We would love for you to partner with us to help support our young people, by helping us raise the much needed funds to put this information in their hands.
