Fixus Technologies joins ‘One Foot Forward’ to Support Mental Health Awareness

Posted on August 02, 2024 by Paul Mac

At Fixus Technologies, we are committed to making a positive impact not only through our innovative software solutions but also by actively participating in community initiatives that align with our values. This October, our team is excited to take part in the ‘One Foot Forward’ campaign organised by the Black Dog Institute. This initiative holds special significance for us as it aims to support Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide, a cause close to our hearts.

Why ‘One Foot Forward’?

‘One Foot Forward’ is more than just a walk; it’s a movement that brings together individuals and organisations across Australia to raise awareness and funds for mental health research and support services. By participating, we aim to contribute to the vital work being done to understand, prevent, and treat mental illnesses.

Our Personal Connection

Mental health is an issue that touches many lives, including those within our own team. At Fixus, we believe in fostering a supportive and understanding workplace where mental health is openly discussed and prioritised. Our participation in ‘One Foot Forward’ is not only a way to give back but also a reflection of our commitment to mental well-being.

Our Commitment

Throughout October, the Fixus team will be walking a collective distance of 1200km to show our support. We are proud to stand alongside the Black Dog Institute and other participants in this important initiative. Each step we take is a step towards a future where mental health is understood, respected, and effectively treated.

How You Can Support

We invite our clients, partners, and community members to join us in supporting ‘One Foot Forward.’ Whether by donating to the cause, spreading the word, or even joining us in the walk, every action counts. Together, we can create a ripple effect of awareness and change.
