Running for resilience tackles mental health in Canberra

Running for Resilience is a Canberra-based initiative founded by Wallabies and Brumbies legend Ben Alexander, 2026 ACT Local Hero, with the goal of making Canberra suicide-free. The organisation hosts various community events including running, yoga, pickleball, tennis, stand-up paddleboarding, and other activities designed to bring people together and reduce stigma around mental health conversations. Young Australian of the Year Ned Brockman joins the group for a morning run in the nation's capital as Australian of the Year nominations close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
