4 OUR STORY

Pictured: Samantha Callender (L) and Paris Jeffcoat (R)

One Eighty was created in response to a number of youth suicides on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. In particular, from the same year cohort at the local high school as one of the founders.

Knowing that suicide was preventable and wanting to see youth mental health done differently in their community, Paris Jeffcoat and Samantha Callender teamed up, and have been running the organisation together since 2017.

Their vision is for a future free of youth suicide.

What was also clear to the young founders, was that young people needed greater representation in the mental health sector. There needed to be a clear, youth voice that agitated for change and worked with existing services to ensure available help was accessible and engaging for a diverse range of young people.

In line with this, all members of our Board and senior management are under 30 and seek guidance when necessary from a variety of mentors and mental health professionals on their advisory group.

5 THE ISSUE

Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15 - 44 This means that young Australians are more likely to die by suicide, than die by motor vehicle accidents, drug overdose, assaults, and other diseases.

THE SOLUTION

The World Health Organisation has highlighted the essential role that community plays in any successful national suicide prevention strategy. It is known that suicide is preventable, and that this prevention requires a collaborative effort, including both top-down and local bottom-up processes. One Eighty offers a model for such a local, bottom-up approach.

6 OUR APPROACH

One Eighty fills a gap in Australia's current suicide prevention strategy. The organisation is leading the way for peer to peer models of community support, is raising the profile of exceptional existing services, and is reimagining what youth engagement in the NFP sector looks like.

We are taking a grass roots, bottom-up approach, with a focus on:· Prevention Early intervention Local impact on a national scale

We have bench tested this local model across the Northern Beaches of Sydney, NSW, and we now seek to roll out similar local models of support on a national scale.

9 MODEL FOR CHANGE

In line with One Eighty’s model for change, the organisation seeks to: 1. Increase the accessibility and visibility of professional mental health care services and resources available for young people 2. Engage in targeted activities that raise awareness of mental health and educate young people about mental ill-health 3. Provide safe and supportive opportunities for young people to broaden their perspective on identity politics 4. Create safe and supportive spaces for young people to learn and practice how to connect and communicate about mental health, and develop interpersonal relationships 5. Promote and advocate for stronger youth representation in the mental health sector 6. Invest in youth mental health research

These actions are designed to build a community of young people who are equipped with the awareness, knowledge, and confidence to: 1. Locate and access quality professional mental health services 2. Confidently communicate with others about mental health and mental ill-health 3. Identify mental ill-health risk factors in themselves and others

The proposed outcomes of this model are: 1. Reduced incidence of mental ill-health, increased rates of help seeking, and reduced risk of suicide in young people 2. Increased quality of life for young people in the community 3. Culture change in the way that young people approach, understand and engage with the mental health sector

10 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

The 2019-2020 financial year has been a wild ride!

As you’ll see from this report, despite facing many obstacles One Eighty has grown from strength to strength this year and continues to be a true innovator in the NFP sector, engaging young people and their communities in mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

Over Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 we ran many community and school workshops and training sessions, were involved in some fantastic community fundraising initiatives, had the pleasure of working with 2 incredible interns, recruited and onboarded 3 new (and amazing!) part-time staff members, had 18 new volunteers sign up to facilitate our Open Up peer support sessions, and had an epic fundraising gala at The Boathouse Palm Beach lined up for March.

And then March happened.

To say that Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 of the financial year presented some challenges for us (and the world, at large) is an understatement. Never before have we had to adapt so quickly to brand new operations, fundraising and service delivery terrain. I am so proud and grateful to everyone on our small team who made this transition possible for us. In response to the new COVID-19 world, our 5 part time staff transitioned into working-from-home arrangements, our fundraising efforts were redirected and all our programs, including our flagship peer support program Open Up, were swiftly transitioned to an entirely online model of delivery.

Our core team worked tirelessly to make this transition as smooth and effective as possible for our community. In particular, their efforts towards getting Open Up running online was a huge achievement - in a week we had developed brand new clinical and technical guidelines, set up the technology and logistics of online service delivery, and offered new training for the facilitators who were to run the new online sessions. While not only allowing this important program to continue during the COVID-era, the shift to online service delivery vastly improved the accessibility of this program, allowing us to even host interstate and international participants.

At the time of writing, our organisation is still operating under social distancing conditions, uncertain as to what the future holds and when our programs and operations can return to business-as-usual. One thing we know we can count on, though, is the continued support from our community. I’d like to thank our wonderful community of staff, volunteers, program participants, online supporters and champions, fundraisers and donors for making a positive difference in young people’s lives. We’re so looking forward to continuing to work with you all in the future!

11 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

It’s hard to believe that this is the fourth year of operation for One Eighty. What started as an idea has evolved into something much larger than we could have anticipated. And it has been incredible to watch the organisation continue to grow each year, moving from strength to strength.

During the past 12 months we’ve had more young people than ever engaging with all levels of the organisation and participating in our youth mental health programs.

This has been in part due to our shift online, which greatly increased the accessibility of the organisation and of our programs. We’ve long thought of offering these programs online, in addition to face to face, however, it was COVID-19 that forced us to make this move. This has resulted in the organisation welcoming participants from across Australia and beyond (hello to our community in Japan!)

The 2019-2020 financial year was our most successful fundraising year to date, with community groups rallying together to show their support, including the Avalon locals behind the 24hr row, and One Eighty ambassadors Ocean Alley holding the largest fundraising event for the organisation to date – A Day for The Beaches.

These engagement, participation and fundraising results demonstrate how our message, 'a future free of youth suicide', and our approach, 'by young people for young people', has resonated with our community and beyond.

I am incredibly proud of the whole One Eighty team for consistently rising to the challenge, continuously showing initiative, and constantly adapting to the situation at hand.

We have big plans for One Eighty and are deeply committed to the continued development and growth of the organisation. We know that together, as a community, we can continue to work together to change the face of youth mental health. A very big thank you to every single person who has been involved so far - what a wild ride it has been! We are so excited for what is coming next.

15 OPEN UP PROGRAM

Open Up is a free local peer support group. Each session provides an opportunity for participants to connect with other young people in their area and share their experiences. Open Up is based on peer support research, which has shown that peer support systems of preventative care improve experiences and emotions, psycho- social outcomes, behaviour, and health outcomes. Open Up sessions instil in participants a sense of belonging, inclusion, and safety. In line with our model for change, Open Up also seeks to increase the accessibility and visibility of professional mental health care services and resources available for young people, and thus increase rates of help seeking.

One Eighty has run Open Up sessions throughout the 2019-2020 financial year, expanding to a new inner-city location, and onboarding 18 new volunteer facilitators. Significantly, in March One Eighty introduced a referral pathway partnership with Community Care Northern Beaches (CCNB), which entailed a set of clinical procedures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of Open Up participants and facilitators.

At the end of March 2020, in response to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions we suspended all face-to-face Open Up sessions and moved the program to a bi-weekly (2 sessions per week) online format. This transition was accompanied by the development of clinical and technical guidelines for facilitators and participants engaging with this online program, as well as 1 on 1 retraining for all facilitators.

17 OPEN UP FACILITATORS

Our Open Up facilitators are dedicated young people who volunteer their time on a weekly basis to run each Open Up session.

18 OPEN UP PROGRAM

"I have been incredibly impressed by the development of One Eighty's Open Up program, that is based on underpinning theory, addressing a range of protective and risk factors of mental disorders and suicide. One Eighty also seeks to enhance belonging to a social network of communication and supportive relationships, which have been demonstrated to be protective of good mental health and well-being. Moreover, One Eighty also aims to improve help seeking by increasing awareness and mental health literacy and reducing stigma.” – A/Professor Kirsten Morley BPsych (Medal) MPH PhD, One Eighty Advisory Group

19 SCHOOL SUPPORT PROGRAM

In line with our model for change, One Eighty’s School Support program is providing safe and supportive opportunities for young people to broaden their perspective on identity politics. This is in accordance with the NSW Department of Education’s Life Ready program, which promotes the development of “appropriate expression of thoughts, emotions and opinions, connecting with others, and respecting diversity.” Our School Support program also aligns with the Department’s effort to have students develop interpersonal communication skills, and build empathy for “others’ views, needs and circumstances”. For the 2019-2020 FY, the two key pillars of this program were Open Up @ Schools and the funding of 3rd party workshops.

Due to COVID-19, school workshops scheduled for Q3 and Q4 of the 2019-202 FY could not be held.

20 SCHOOL SUPPORT PROGRAM

Open Up @ Schools One Eighty developed and ran an Open Up @ Schools pilot project for Year 11 girls at Narrabeen Sports High in Term 4 of 2019. After amending our session structure and guidelines, and retraining some of our facilitators, seven of our female Open Up facilitators ran Open Up sessions every Tuesday over 8 weeks on campus. The sessions were well attended, and feedback from facilitators indicated that there was a need for the support program for students, and that the students who attended found the sessions valuable.

21 SCHOOL SUPPORT PROGRAM

The funding of 3rd party workshops Funding 3rd party workshops has been a focus for the organisation since its inception in 2017. Over the years, the organisation has funded workshops and events in high schools across the Northern Beaches that has allowed thousands of students to participate. This funding arm has been successful in increasing awareness of One Eighty through schools and 3rd party services, has strengthened the relationship that One Eighty has with a range of 3rd party service providers, and has allowed the organisation to impact a large number of people. Over the 2019-2020 FY, we funded and co-funded school workshops by Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Woman at high schools across the Northern Beaches.

Tomorrow Man From July - October 2019 1009 students reached· Across 20 different workshops At 5 different schools: Narrabeen Sports High School, Northern Beaches Secondary College - Cromer Campus, NBSC - Freshwater Campus, Barrenjoey High School, NBSC – Manly Selective High

Tomorrow Woman From July - October 2019 264 students reached Across 10 different workshops At 5 different schools: Narrabeen Sports High School, Northern Beaches Secondary College - Cromer Campus, NBSC - Freshwater Campus, Barrenjoey High School, NBSC – Manly Selective High

“It was definitely worthwhile, it allowed us to see that no one is on their own, and that we all go through bad times. Being honest about certain aspects of my life allowed me to feel free and I’m sure that others felt this way as well.” - Participant

“I felt that the “Tomorrow Man” workshop was one of the best workshops I have ever attended. The honesty put forward by the boys was unparalleled. Some of the activities supplied were challenging and required a major amount of honesty from us, but we left learning so much about our peers. Just knowing the monumental problems some people have to go through was an eye opener.” - Participant

22 COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM

ABOUT The philosophy behind our Community Support program stems directly from the principles of community engagement for preventative health care. The World Health Organisation has stated that “whereas governments need to take a lead and develop and implement comprehensive multisectoral suicide prevention strategies, communities can incorporate and enhance these efforts with their local community needs, priorities and circumstances.”

Taking initiative from this, and in line with our model for change, our Community Support program seeks to provide safe and supportive spaces for young people and the wider community to learn and practice how to connect and communicate about mental health, and develop interpersonal relationships. Additionally, the program is designed to build communities who are equipped with the awareness, knowledge, and confidence to locate and access quality professional mental health services, and identify mental ill-health risk factors in themselves and others.

23 COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM

“Well done to all of you for getting this message out there. As a father it's really hard to find the right moment/s to have these conversations with your sons. Having this public awareness, that One Eighty (and others) are creating, enables an easier flow of conversation for myself and many other dads.” - Community member

Over the 2019 - 2020 FY One Eighty has funded the following through our Community Support program:

Tomorrow Man Blokes Night for Communicating with Care training for 200 boys & men 14 people

Tomorrow Woman 'Gather' night for Mental Health First Aid training for 120 girls & women 70 people

24 AWARENESS AND EDUCATION PROGRAM

Aspects of One Eighty’s social media and advertising campaigns contribute to the organisation’s broader education and awareness objectives. These efforts are directly in line with key objectives from the organisations Model for Change: Increase the accessibility and visibility of professional mental health care services and resources available for young people Engage in targeted activities that raise awareness of mental health and educate young people about mental ill- health

In keeping with the organisations focus on prevention and early intervention, some of the proposed outcomes of the Model for Change are: Reduced incidence of mental ill-health, increased rates of help seeking, and reduced risk of suicide in young people Increased quality of life for young people in the community Culture change in the way that young people approach, understand and engage with the mental health sector

Facilitator video series In June some of our amazing Open Up facilitators stepped in front of the camera for an educational video series One Eighty is rolling out on social media. The video series gives insight into who our Open Up facilitators are, what is involved in an Open Up session, as well as why they volunteer, and what value they get from being involved in the program. This campaign was designed to increase engagement with the Open Up program, in particular to increase engagement from an audience who might have heard of the program but are still unsure, hesitant, or too nervous to attend. The campaign will help individuals feel more prepared and certain about what to expect from a session, which we hope will get potential participants and beneficiaries of the program over the ‘first-time attendee’ hurdle. 25 AWARENESS AND EDUCATION PROGRAM

Crossing the bridge: Growing up LGBTQIA+ on Sydney’s Northern Beaches

Through December 2019 and January 2020 the One Eighty blog published the stories of 3 remarkable young Northern Beaches locals in a blog series called Crossing the Bridge: Growing up LGBTQIA+ on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. The series was interviewed and written by One Eighty Board member and Australian Financial Review Journalist Natasha Gillezeau. The series was an incredible hit, receiving a high level of engagement and great feedback from our social media audience, and was accessed over 2800 times by readers online. These stories felt important for us to share, given a disproportionate number of LGBTQIA+ young people experience poorer mental health outcomes and have higher risk of suicidal behaviours that their peers due to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse on the basis of being LGBTQIA+.

4.5k number of times the Crossing the bridge: Growing up LGBTQIA+ on Sydney’s Northern Beaches series was read

Chris Hayward, who came out as gay when he was 20, was the first to feature in the series: “The most powerful thing for me has been people who embrace my creativity, extra-ness, and sensitivity. And realising that I shouldn’t have to settle for less, and overcompensate, and justify who I am to tick a box and be worthy. I’m done trying to be someone I’m not out of fear there isn’t anyone that would love me exactly the way I am. Something I’m still struggling to accept.”

26 COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING AND ENGAGEMENT

Throughout the year, we have also been lucky enough to have had numerous local community groups, small businesses, organisations, and sports teams run community fundraisers for One Eighty. Whether it was a fun run, a BBQ, raffle or movie night, these community fundraisers do so much more than help us out financially – they’re an opportunity to spread awareness about One Eighty, educate the community about mental health resources, and to show the community how they can become active advocates for youth mental health. Community fundraisers and events in which One Eighty were involved this year included: Northern Beaches Rotary Club events, Northern Beaches Innovation Bake Sale, The SLSA 24hr row, Avalon bowling club family fun day, the Pub2Pub fun run, the Manly Markets, Northern Beaches Council & CCNB Wellness day, Northern Beaches Berry Markets, Northern Beaches Council Religious and Cultural Leaders - Mental Health Forum, Avalon on the Green, Precious Breath festival, Avalon SLSC fun day, LJ Hooker Avalon Movie night, A Day for the Beaches, The Boathouse Home Christmas shopping night.

27 COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING AND ENGAGEMENT

This year, 15 members of our Street team were active out in our community, representing One Eighty at over 30 of our community fundraisers and events. Our Street Team are One Eighty team members who are trained in Mental Health First Aid, and who actively go out into the community and start conversations about youth mental health. The team is made up of passionate, enthusiastic, and dedicated young people from all walks of life! They are an important part of One Eighty’s community support work, and act as vital touch- points between the community and our organisation throughout the year.

In 2019 One Eighty was chosen as a preferred charity for the annual Pub2Pub fun run. It was an incredible event, that saw One Eighty take out the prize for the largest team (with 100 people!), and raise much needed funds and awareness for mental health. One Eighty's Pub2Pub team was sponsored by VIA Financial.

29 A DAY FOR THE BEACHES

A Day For The Beaches was a brand new, all ages, drug and alcohol free community event that took over Narrabeen’s Rat Park on Saturday 16 November 2019 with a sell-out crowd of 4000. Curated by Northern Beaches natives and One Eighty ambassadors Ocean Alley, who set out to give something back to their hometown and to raise money and awareness for both One Eighty Inc. and Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

Ocean Alley led the live music component of the event after selling out headline shows across UK, US, Canada, Europe and New Zealand. Joining the lineup in a celebration of the thriving, local Northern Beaches music scene was Dear Seattle, Eagle Eye Jones, Stumps, Liquid Time, The Brights, Monkey Knife Fight and Butterbox. Bursting with live music, local art, markets, food trucks and activations, the event was an incredible success and experience for the community!

30 ART THERAPY

The Art Therapy exhibition is an opportunity for local young artists to show the community how they use creativity to respond to the world around them. The first Art Therapy exhibition was the soft-launch of One Eighty in November 2017, and an opportunity for the community to come together to support young local talent and begin a conversation about mental health. We have since held the exhibition in December 2018 and again during this financial year in December 2019. The 2019 event was a great success, with over 300 people attending over the course of its one night at the Avalon Beach Surf Life Saving Club, which was generously donated for event.

The 2019 event saw involvement from 26 young, local artists. This cohort sold 50 pieces of art and donated 20% of all artwork sales to One Eighty. While primarily focused on the artwork, the night also included a successful fundraising raffle for One Eighty, and saw performances from young, local bands including Marvell, James and Lucy (now The Wattles), and The Rions. One Eighty also had members of its Street Team present on the night, talking to attendees about One Eighty, its programs, and other mental health and services information.

31 ART THERAPY

A big thank you to all of the young artists involved in the 3rd annual Art Therapy: Alicia Dunstan, Billy Bain, Charlie Nivison, Gemma Rasdall, Genevieve McConnell, Guy Williment, Jack Evstigneev, Jessica Vincenza, Josh Reeves, Josie Pereira, Lily Sheridan, Lucie Martyr, Lucinda Jones, Matthew Crowe, Max Marvell, Natasha Burburry, Nick Bentley, Nirvana Selwood, Pat Hunter. We would also like to say thank you to interns Doug Orchard and Maddie Walsh who played a key role in the organisation of the event. And of course to all volunteers who helped out on the day.

32 ONE EIGHTY IN THE MEDIA

33 THE LASTING IMPACT OF COVID-19

COVID-19 has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on numerous aspects of One Eighty including fundraising, operational activity and program delivery. What is a focus for our team is the lasting mental health impact that COVID-19 and the recession will have, and what role One Eighty can play in minimising this impact.

The University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre has forecast a significant surge in suicides as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. New modelling by the centre has forecast an additional 1500 suicide- related deaths over the next five years, with a projected increase of up to 30% among young people aged 15-25 [1]. In addition, modelling from the Brain and Mind Centre revealed that over a five-year period in one region alone, without urgent and effective action, up to half a billion dollars in productivity losses would be directly attributable to mental health and suicide in a coronavirus- impacted world [2]. There will clearly be an increased need for community mental health support and suicide prevention services over the next year, at least.

One Eighty’s Open Up peer-support program will be at the core of One Eighty’s efforts to increase community support over the next year (FY20-21). We aim to expand the program to new locations and to continue online as well as face-to-face sessions so as to increase the accessibility of the program. Current Open Up sessions have capacity to manage the predicted influx of participants. We will also be investing in advertising for the program, particularly toward identified vulnerable populations, so as to maximise the number of young people who know how to access the program. In response to the increased numbers of young people who might benefit from Open Up over the next year, we will also educate and strengthen ties with local clinical services including GPs and hospitals so as to maximise the number of at-risk youth who are referred-in to the program as a supplement to their clinical support.

In order to meet the predicted heightened needs of the community at large, we also aim to increase the number of Lifeline Accidental Counsellor and Mental Health First Aid training opportunities offered to the public throughout the year. We will also be investing in advertising campaigns for these training sessions, to maximise the number of community members who know what support we can provide. In terms of responding to the needs of at-risk community members, we will be strengthening ties with local clinical services including GPs and hospitals and developing referral guidelines for our staff and volunteers to familiarise themselves with.

OPEN UP FACILITATORS Each week for nearly three years, our volunteer facilitators have shown up to run One Eighty's peer support program, Open Up. The time and energy that each of them have dedicated to holding space for other young people is to be truly commended. We cannot begin to express how grateful we are for them, because without them this truly valuable program would not be possible. Each of them has made a significant positive impact in the world, and we are so proud of the peer support that they have provided to our community.

OPEN UP VENUES We would like to express our gratitude to the following venues for donating their beautiful spaces for Open Up: The Plant Room, Bustle Studio, and Akasa Wellness Centre.

MAJOR COMMUNITY FUNDRAISERS We would like to say a special thank you to some fantastic individuals in the community who have gone above and beyond to support One Eighty.

24 hr Row In the second half of 2019 Mel and Nathan Wellings, along with several Surf Life Saving Clubs and gyms across the Northern Beaches of Sydney, organised the second annual 24hr row. The event saw hundreds of people row for 24 hours straight (yes they were rowing at 3am!) to raise funds for mental health. The event raised an astounding $40,000, 50% of which was donated to One Eighty. We would like to extend our thanks to every single person involved, and in particular to Mel and Nathan Wellings for all of their hard work behind the scenes!

Modern Movement Winter Charity Challenge For the month of July in 2019, Modern Movement in Mona Vale challenged their members to complete 16 yoga sessions in 28 days, all to raise funds for One Eighty. The challenge encouraged members to create some much needed space in their busy minds, to reset their nervous systems, destress, and connect to their community, and in doing so they raised over $5000. Wow! A very big thank you to Modern Movement for this amazing initiative, and to all of the yogi's who did downward dog all in the name of a good cause.

Babewatch Babewatch is group we can certainly get behind! The group advocate for mental health through organised ocean swims, discussion groups, social events, and fundraising. Each year the group choose a charity to raise money for, and One Eighty was lucky enough to be one of the chosen ones. Over the course of a year, Babewatch ran a number of incredible events, raising a total of $5,800 for One Eighty. Thank you to Babewatch for choosing to fundraise for One Eighty, and to everyone involved.

Pub2Pub The annual Pub2Pub is an iconic fun run that takes place on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. One Eighty was fortunate enough to be chosen as a charity partner for the 2019 event, and it was an incredible opportunity to raise not only funds but awareness. One Eighty took out the prize for the biggest team, with 100 runners, who were all in One Eighty tees thanks to our sponsors VIA Financial. A big thank you to every single person on the One Eighty team for getting involved (and running 13km!) and to VIA Financial for sponsoring the team.

Jake Cohen In April 2020, Jake Cohen walked from North Head to Palm Beach (that's over 50km!) and raised over $5,500 for One Eighty. We are so grateful to Jake for his immense effort, and the positive impact that his commitment to mental health continues to have on young people. We are lucky to have someone like Jake in the community!
