"What does cosplay mean to you?" 💙 We asked cosplayers at SMASH & their answers were about so much more than costumes. From self-expression to finding your people, cosplay creates spaces where people can show up as themselves. 🫶 #smashcon #cosplay #youthmentalhealth

Stigma-Free Streamers just wrapped its biggest month ever! 🎮💙 50+ streamers across AU & the globe came together to raise over $22K & spark conversations about mental health online. We want to send a HUGE thanks to every streamer, donor & @redbullgaming.bsky.social for the support 🫶
Only 1% of the mental health budget goes to prevention. Young people say they often have to reach crisis point to get support - that’s not good enough. We’re calling for 5% to go to prevention. If we want to reduce mental ill-health & suicide, we need to act earlier 💙🐘
