Agencies unite with oOh!media NZ to support Youthline

31 minutes is the average time Youthline’s 24/7 Helpline counsellors spend with each young person in crisis. For the month of May 2024, Youthline is encouraging New Zealanders to “Walk the Talk” for 31 minutes every day, fundraising support for young people struggling with their mental health along the way.

As a longstanding partner and supporter of Youthline, oOh!media is rallying the oOh! team for Walk the Talk and amplifying awareness of the campaign as the official media partner. In a bid to make this exercise-fueled fundraiser as enticing and thrilling as can be, oOh! has taken an extra stride by teaming up with market-leading fitness brands F45, Studio Box, Sala, and East West.

Shae Ronald, CEO from Youthline shares, "I am extremely grateful for oOh!media's support in the 'Walk the Talk' fundraiser. We’re thrilled to have them on board, continuing their longstanding commitment to our cause - raising awareness and funds for youth mental health in Aotearoa.

At the heart of Walk the Talk is critical funding to keep the 24/7 Helpline going. Every donation makes a significant impact on the mental health of our youth, their whānau, and friends.

Our goal is to be a beacon of hope for young people struggling with mental health distress. We are thrilled to reintroduce Walk the Talk in 2024, aiming to raise vital funds for our Helpline and make a meaningful difference in the lives of rangatahi facing mental health challenges.”

oOh! has arranged for a series of afternoon classes during the work day in May for its team and clients to get active. For those interested, people in the industry can check out the schedule to get involved:
