Seven minutes - the length of two songs on the radio - might be all the time it takes to help improve your mental health.
The Reach Foundation has launched its 7x7 campaign, challenging Australians to commit seven minutes a day to their mental health for seven days. It's designed to kickstart a mental health movement on mass and raise vital funds for the youth preventative mental health organisation.
Each day, participants will wake up to an email from Reach with an unknown challenge to complete. It will be under seven minutes, totally mysterious, fun and rewarding.
Each daily challenge draws upon unique personal growth activities taken from Reach's social and emotional wellbeing workshops and are designed, with support from trained wellbeing professionals, to help participants take steps towards improving their own mental health.
For example, on day one, participants are asked to draw a sketch of themselves highlighting their personal strengths, taking time to reflect on the personal attributes they most value about themselves.
While undertaking the 7x7, participants will raise funds for The Reach Foundation's vital work, helping to achieve Reach's goal of supporting 500,000 young people per year.
The challenge runs from October 24-30, and sign ups are still open.
