MOVE FOR MINDS:
CHARITY RUN/WALK

Move for Minds is a guided exercise training and support program that culminates in a weekend of events in which everyone sets and pushes towards their individual goals.

But this isn’t your average exercise program we’re talking about- it’s more of a wellbeing program.

Move for Minds sits at a crossroads between physical and mental health, using one to facilitate the other as we foster positive and powerful habits.

For 2023 we’re looking to not only get individuals involved but workplaces and groups as well – allowing the mental and physical health benefits to be shared amongst you and your team.

Charity Partner

Prevention United is an Australian charity and mental health advocacy group started in 2018 by Dr Stephen Carbone and Dr Luke Martin.

Their aim in doing so was twofold: to promote and foster mental health, and to advocate for greater emphasis on the prevention of mental health conditions. Rather than focussing on intervention and treatment for those with existing mental health conditions (work that is already carried out by many other groups), Prevention United seek to facilitate what they call ‘primary prevention’ strategies that tackle the root causes of mental health conditions and can limit their development in the first place.

This work is carried out via education, training and consultation work, as well as a program of advocacy for the government to restructure mental health funding to include prevention programs. All of the money raised during Move for Minds goes towards this important work, and we are proud of what we’ve created together over these last few years.
