MATEKEEPER CAMPAIGN

What is a MateKeeper Champion?

The MateKeeper Campaign is designed to create awareness around mental health by having individuals pledge that they want to work towards learning the skills and knowledge required to support their mates, neighbours, co-workers and even individuals they may not know with mental health struggles.

Our vision is to support individuals that can continue working together towards building safer mental health spaces in their communities.

By pledging, you become a part of our mission to break the stigma around mental health in our communities, creating a united front to support those we care about to stay safe and get the support they deserve.

What am I pledging?

When you pledge your name, you are pledging that:

• You are someone who stands up for those struggling with mental health.

• You will always do you best to be knowledgeable and educate yourself on how to support those around you with mental health struggles.

• You will be mindful and non-judgmental to those struggling with mental health.

• You are someone safe for those around you to seek support.

• You are working towards creating a safer mental health community.

Is there any commitment from me after I pledge my name?

There is no commitment from you by Rural Outreach Counselling when you pledge your name.
