SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY

We're proud to announce our ongoing support for SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY into 2024.

The dedication SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY has to promoting the importance of mental health discussions, seeking help, and providing support through tough times is something we wholeheartedly back. Their efforts span a wide range of programs, events, and community engagement activities.

RACT is committed to improving the lives of Tasmanians, and through our work with SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY, we’re enabling both our members and staff to access tips on improving mental health and encouraging everyone to check-in with those around them. We're dedicated to fostering conversations about mental health and dismantling the stigma associated with it.

Shorts Day 2024

21 June 2024

Despite the frosty air, this year's Shorts Day brought warmth and connection to the RACT community. Staff donned their shorts in a powerful display of support for SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY's message of mental health awareness.

This year’s theme, 'Let Your Shorts Talk', encouraged everyone to embrace the discomfort, similar to wearing shorts in the depths of a Tasmanian winter, by openly discussing mental health. We rose to the challenge, engaging in heartfelt discussion and facing the discomfort head-on.

Our ongoing partnership with SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY has been vital in strengthening our community and recognising the importance of mental health both at work and at home.

Shorts Day 2023

22 June 2023

On the shortest day of the year, our teams came together to brave the cold and brave the conversation around mental health as we supported SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY's annual initiative Shorts Day.

It was a cold, short, important day as we brought the topic of mental health to the forefront of our conversations.
