ALLKND is an impact-led, Gen Z forward, not-for-profit, reducing the national youth suicide rate by teaching Australia’s first digital, peer-to-peer mental health first aid program, at scale around the country.

Suicide accounts for over 1//3 of deaths in Australian youth – that’s more than transport accidents and accidental poisonings and rates are at their highest in the past 10 years and show no signs of slowing down. Research also shows that for adolescents, for every one suicide there are approximately 100 to 200 attempts – that’s approximately 96,000 attempts each year. Reporting has also shown that the majority of young people turn to each other on a peer-to-peer level before reaching out to an adult.

Instead of steering clear of tough topics and uncomfortable conversations, we’re empowering and trusting our youth with the knowledge and skills they need to do what they’ve been doing for decades and are really good at: being good mates.

We believe in the #knowmoredomore effect. We’re on a mission to inspire compassion, smash the stigma and save young lives. Our team of psychologists and communication specialists have used evidence-based research to build our signature digital program, Good Mate Training, and are expecting to find that participation in Good Mate Training improves young people’s mental health literacy, resilience and self-efficacy, confidence in providing support to peers, and help-seeking behaviours.

In order to scale our impact, we’re going to need some funding. About $75,000 to be exact. While we wish we could use Monopoly money to pay our bills, we need the real thing in order to keep providing peer-to-peer mental health first aid training for free to youth across Australia.

Note: We are a preventative mental health and emotional intelligence charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) from 23 Feb 2021.
