Running for Resilience is an unstructured concept that has been embraced by the Canberra and Mental Health communities. If you choose to take part in the weekly runs, you do so at your own risk. Running is a physically active sport and you should always seek advice from your doctor beforehand as to any pre-existing injury. Children under the age of 12 are the responsibility of their parents or guardians and must be accompanied by them at all times. Running for Resilience webpage and social media owners and operators or those organising the weekly runs are not always present at the weekly runs. They do not accept responsibility for any injury, loss or damage sustained by any participant.
Running for Resilience is a campaign aimed at empowering people to overcome their personal struggles by never giving up and keeping moving.
Odds are that you or someone you know has had an incredibly tough time at some point in their lives. Whether this tough time can be diagnosed as depression, anxiety, or part-and-parcel of life, the ability to keep moving and never give up is paramount.

It doesn't matter what your struggle is... It probably sucks.
Furthermore, It is a far-from-ideal reality that many people suffer in silence, exaggerating the importance of resilience. Whilst I support the message of seeking assistance, there must also be support for people who aren't ready or willing to follow this advice.
It's important that we make our default to struggle something positive and maintain the belief that pain is temporary and happiness is imminent. Things may not improve straight away, but if we keep doing things that add value to our lives and should make us feel better, eventually we will.

One day we will know more. Until then, we might as well do something about it.
Our goal is to save one life from suicide, as many times as possible
