Engaging the wider community in suicide prevention and mental health can be challenging.

Using technology in an innovative and fun way can help bring needed attention and educate people through 'health by stealth'.

The Push-Up Challenge has educated and engaged hundreds of thousands of Australians through an innovative approach.

The event has provided a simple and fun way for students, workplaces, sporting clubs and others to engage in mental health, with significant insights drawn out around what people are interested in and what messaging resonates the best with people.
