A student with a mullet walks into a classroom. The teacher says “The party’s at the back”
On September 15th, Saint Ignatius College celebrated the students and staff of our College as they sported a mullet for a very noble cause; mullets for mental health. Our students embarked on a mission to raise funds of $400 for the Black Dog Institute, an institute that serves as a crucible for mental health research. Their aspirations extend far beyond the realms of fashion, as they strive to forge a mentally healthier world for all, one mullet at a time.
Research shows that suicide is currently the leading cause of death in males aged 18-24. It is estimated that 60% of people will not seek help for mental health conditions.
The efforts students, staff and parents make to raise funds for The Black Dog Institute will:
Spark free workshops and webinars to educate folks on spotting signs of everyday mental health issues.
Back research to delve into why those at risk of suicide might hesitate to seek help, and bankroll strategies to reach and aid them.
Pave the way for testing new tech to assist individuals in handling persistent thoughts of self-harm.
If you would like to donate to this cause, please use the link below.
We are proud of our students and their efforts to promote mental well-being, and we encourage them to carry these positive actions into their future endeavours.
A special thanks to our own Darcy Bassett, and to the talented hairdresser Angelina Zaraie from the Godmothers Barber shop who generously volunteered her skills and time to make it all possible (as shown below).
