Jamaica Blue: The Alive project

Jamaica Blue is thrilled to be partnered nationally with ALIVE Project. The ALIVE Project is a community driven organisation of passionate people and partners dedicated to preventing suicide in young people in Australia.

This is an ongoing partnership to drive donations to a great cause that Jamaica Blue is also passionate about.

There are a number of ways Jamaica Blue will raise funds for the Alive Project. These include:

• ONGOING DONATIONS via each stores fundraising page. For every $1000 raised in the store fundraising tally, that Jamaica Blue café team get to choose a School or Sporting Group in their local community to receive Alive’s mental health training.
• DONATE HERE to support your local community
• “THE BIG GIVE” Our National Campaign running 21st June – 17th July, 2022.

DID YOU KNOW?

• The Mental Health crisis in young people is the worst it’s been for 10 years.
• Suicide is now the number one cause of death in young people under 25yrs.
• 800,000 people die due to suicide every year. That is one life lost every 40 seconds. It’s got to stop.

THE ALIVE PROJECT IS BRINGING A SOLUTION

The Alive Project works with the community to co-design Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategies and Programs for 10-25 year olds and their families.

The programs teach:

• How to overcome stress, anxiety, bullying, and bad experiences.
• How to manage behaviour challenges, motivation dips, feeling off track and down.
• How to create a life you are excited to live.
• PLUS helping parents get the reigns back in their hands to grow successful, happy children, who know who they are.

IT COSTS ONLY $25 TO SUPPORT ONE CHILD OR YOUNG ADULT FOR A YEAR
