The Monadelphous 'Push Up' Community was made up of five teams from across the business.
What is the Push for Better Foundation and the Push-Up Challenge?
Push for Better Foundation is a registered health promotion charity who focus on the prevention and early intervention of depression, anxiety and suicide through the promotion of their flagship event the Push-Up Challenge. The Push-Up Challenge is an annual event that provides a unique platform and opportunity to engage our workforce in mental health, to get fit, to connect with others and to learn about mental health.
Over the event we aimed for 3,318 push-ups in 25 days to help raise awareness of mental health of the 3,318 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2019. The Push-Up Challenge exists to encourage people to get fit, stay connected and learn about mental health.
Our teams were proud to have participated in The Push-Up Challenge to help Australia #pushforbetter mental health.
