Growing Mullets for Mental Health - Supporting Our Communities

The team at Akincare is proud to be joining the Mullets for Mental Health challenge this April to raise crucial funds for the Black Dog Institute.

Every day, we at Akincare witness the strength and resilience of the individuals we support: people with disabilities, our veterans, and those in aged care. We also understand the significant impact that mental health challenges can have on these vulnerable communities, as well as the dedicated support workers who tirelessly care for them. The statistics are sobering: 9 lives are lost to suicide in Australia each day, and over 75% of mental health issues begin before the age of 25.1

As an organisation committed to the well-being of those we serve and our dedicated team, we are growing our mullets to raise awareness and vital funds for the Black Dog Institute's ground-breaking mental health research and essential digital services. These resources will help get support and education into the hands of Australians who need it most, including the individuals and support networks within the disability, veteran, and aged care sectors.

By supporting the Akincare team's mullets, you'll be directly contributing to a future where mental health is prioritised, stigma is reduced, and help is accessible to all. Join us in making a real difference and creating better mental health for our communities. Donate today and support our hairy efforts!
