Running for Resilience Saving one life from su***de, as many times as possible. Just. Keep. Moving (disclaimer via link)

Disclaimer: Running for Resilience is an unstructured concept that has been embraced by the Canberra and Mental Health communities. It can be engaged with in whichever way people see fit, and if you choose to take part in the weekly runs, you are doing so of your own volition, with consideration to your own circumstances, and accepting the associated risks.

Latest episode is out now!

There hasn’t been an R4R podcast that we haven’t enjoyed, but the ones where we see an example of people taking ownership of R4R and watering their patch of grass fills us with pride.

We love this community and we love the people putting their shoulder to the wheel. Jen, Morgan, and Michael Benney couldn’t epitomise this any better.

One of the reasons R4R has garnered so much momentum is because of the people taking charge. But it’s also because of the spaces being created for people to connect.

Whether it be Two Before Ten, Three Sides Cafe, or Frankies at Forde, these spaces give people an opportunity to connect with others around a common understanding and a shared belief.

And sometimes this opportunity is all someone needs… other times, it’s one of the many steps someone’s taking on their path to overcoming whatever they’re facing.

Andrew Logan from Andrew Logan came by R4R recently to talk about the death of his Son, Johannes.

The way Andrew shares his thoughts, the effort he goes through to understand su***de, and the way he’s using his pain to help others avoid the same outcome, is inspiring.

R U OK? Day Special Event

In 2025, Andrew lost his 19-year-old son, Johannes, to su***de. In the aftermath, he realised how little he understood about the warning signs and risk factors that had been present but unseen. Since then, Andrew has dedicated himself to helping other parents recognise those signs earlier, so more families never have to experience what his family has.

Through his Hey, I’m Not OK presentations and his Instagram Andrew Logan, Andrew shares practical, evidence-informed ways parents can better understand, support and connect with the boys and young men in their lives.

This session will explore:

The warning signs and risk factors for su***de in boys and young men.
How to recognise when someone may be struggling.
Practical ways to start conversations and provide support.
What parents can do before a situation becomes a crisis.
Andrew’s work has already helped thousands of parents across Australia.

What parents are saying:

“I want to thank you for making my life better. I have a 16-year-old son. Your insights are helping me manage the ups and downs of parenting him.”

“Thank you for what you are doing. Your raw truth is inspiring.”

“I have three teenage sons myself and your messages about the risk factors are so powerful.”
