ABOUT RIPPLE EFFECT FOUNDATION
The Ripple Effect Wave Challenge is operated by Ripple Effect Foundation.
At Ripple Effect Foundation we believe that
every Australian should have access to a lifestyle that protects their wellbeing.
HOW WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE CULTURE
INCREASING AWARENESS
- Empowering people to take proactive steps in enhancing their own wellbeing through campaigns that enhance mental health literacy and educate people on the simple lifestyle factors and activities that protect our mental wellbeing.
ENCOURAGING CONVERSATIONS
- Encouraging open discussions about mental health to further reduce stigma across different Australian populations.
- Normalising the practice of prioritising the things that protect our mental health as being essential.
ADVOCATING FOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE
- Collaborating with others working in mental health promotion to push for meaningful change for the things that we can't control as individuals.
- Building communities of mental health advocates and empowering indvidiuals to become advocates.
FUNDING PROGRAMS
- Supporting new and existing initiatives through donations and grant funding that empower communities to foster a culture of mental wellbeing, increasing awareness and skills in mental wellbeing and working to reduce stigma.
WHERE THE FUNDS GO
The funds raised will be split between organisations and programs that align with our focus areas of increasing awareness, encouraging conversations, reducing stigma and advocating for change.
batyr
batyr know that young people are most likely to talk with a friend or peer support when they are struggling with their mental health, well before they walk into a service, if they access a service at all. This is why batyr focuses on empowering young people with the skills and knowledge to support themselves and each other.
Their programs and initiatives are about building mental health knowledge and personal resilience, addressing life stressors wherever possible. They are about stopping a crisis before it starts. They do this by running programs and initiatives in schools, universities and online.
