EVEN HEROES NEED A HAND

Black Dog Ride to Tasmania 2017

Defence and Emergency Workers save and protect lives. But this demanding work means they may experience the trauma of mental illness at twice the rate of other Australians. At Black Dog Ride, we find that statistic unacceptable and we're doing something about it. In 2017 we're fundraising to provide these heroes with Mental Health First Aid training, so these heroes can identify and respond appropriately to a colleague in crisis, keeping them safe from harm. 

Black Dog Ride's goal is to raise $200,000 to fund 500 scholarships.
