So recently we did a crafting afternoon fundraiser for Homestead For Youth to help raise funds for their amazing work – but not everyone could make it on that day and not everyone is crafty – we get that. So as an alternative we have pre-made up the set of 6 cards from the afternoon and packaged them into a nice acetate box so that you can purchase it for your own use or give as a gift.
The sets of 6 cards come with matching stamped envelopes and are blank inside. They are $20 per set and postage is extra.
NB: the cards are handmade so there may be some slight variation from the cards pictured.
The statistics are scary:
- 1 in 7 young Australians experience a mental health condition
- Suicide in young Australians is the highest it has been in 10 years
- Suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians and accounts for the deaths of more young people than car accidents
- 1 in every 2 of our youths are sexually abused, with research showing that this trauma leads towards mental illness
- There is on average 6 suicides a day
Homestead for Youth has a focus on fixing the gaps in our youth development and mental health systems, Homestead for Youth works with innovative and holistic therapy approaches for young people and their families who fall in the bracket of “able to help themselves” but are not able to.
