How to tackle mental health by doing nothing

According to the Smiling Mind’s survey ‘State of Mind’, around 78 per cent of Australians had poor mental health during the pandemic. New activities done from home, online meetings, and lockdowns contributed to the concerning statistic.

Alex Wadelton is owner of a marketing agency, but has experienced mental health issues since he was a teenager. Along with his business partner Jonny Clow, decided to raise awareness about mental health by asking Australians to… do nothing.
