WHAT IS LIPTEMBER?

Liptember is a campaign dedicated to educating the community on women’s mental health whilst raising funds towards specific women’s mental health research and support programs during the month of September.

 

WHY WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH?

Currently, the majority of mental health research is focused on men’s mental health, with the findings applied to both men and women. This has resulted in a number of programs and prevention strategies that are unable to fully assist the mental health needs of the female population. The Liptember campaign hopes to change that.

By placing a gender lens on mental health, research has shown to be more accurate and support programs more effective.

Funds raised during the month of September are donated to the Centre of Women’s Mental Health, Lifeline, Batyr, RUOK?, The Jean Hailes Foundation and The Pretty Foundation.
