About the workshop:

Jackson brought love and happiness into the lives of his family and friends and it’s hard to process that someone with so much love to give could yet not return that favour to themselves. Jackson had been battling with his own demons and it ended with death grabbing at what it could and leaving behind a huge hole in our hearts. Jackson’s death has highlighted the difficulties so many young people are going through and although we can never bring Jackson back to this life, we can honour him by raising much-needed funds to help the youth in crisis and seek to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and familiarise the community with the services available.

All funds raised from MVMT with Jackson will be contributed to Youth Focus, an independent West Australian not-for-profit organisation who work with young people to help them overcome issues associated with mental illness. Prior to Jackson’s death, I was not aware of the seriousness of mental illness in our society and I acknowledge Jackson for reminding us of the importance to talk to each other, open up and to personally ask yourself are you okay?

We love you Jackson and although you may have left a huge hole in our hearts, only you could provide us with enough wonderful memories to fill that hole with love, laughter and a cherished nickname.
