Running for Resilience

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.

Andrew Logan with Andrew Logan

Wednesday 9 September, 7.00 pm
Location: Local Press Cafe Local Press Café (next to The Dock), Kingston Foreshore
Special Guest Speaker for R U OK?

Free admission, no registration required.

As part of R U OK? Day, Running for Resilience is honoured to welcome Andrew Logan for a conversation about supporting boys and young men before they reach crisis.

Many of you may have recently heard Andrew on the Running for Resilience Podcast, where he shared his family’s story with incredible honesty.

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 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.

Our very own Lili Mooney will be celebrating her 100th time volunteering at parkrun Australia at the parkrun she helped to found Woden Town parkrun

Parkrun has been a massive source of inspiration to Running for Resilience and we are so grateful for the pioneering vision of Tim Oberg (thank you for your on-going support of R4R over the years) to bring Parkrun to Australia and all of the parkrun team and volunteers that continue to show up every week to make free social exercise possible in Australia.

See you this Saturday, 8am at Woden Parkrun.

Congratulations again Lili, we’re so proud of you!
