Melbourne rapper and musician 360 has, like a lot of people, been struggling.
If you’ve been following my music over the last few months you’d know that I’ve had some really fucked up struggles with addiction and mental illness and the worst part about it all is that I didn’t tell anyone, kept it to myself and didn’t wanna be a burden.. After seeing the reaction to “I’m sorry” and seeing how many people are going through something SO similar but are also doing so in total silence, it’s inspired us to create The 180 Movement ….

The organisation is a collaboration between 360 and mental health advocate James Kennedy, with a view to creating a network of community support, advocates, leaders, and role models, aiming to break down the stigma of mental health and addiction and encourage open, honest, and healthy conversation from those suffering in silence.
“We want to create a community of leaders with the courage to speak up; a network of likeminded people who may have experienced these things in their lives, and found their way through to the other side with a desire to guide their peers to a different perspective. If you’re struggling, we will give you a safe platform to tell your story, where the only feedback you will receive is supportive and empowering.
There is no shame in suffering, and nothing to be gained by doing so in silence. Speak up, let your story be known, support your mates, support a stranger, create the change we all need: be the movement.”
You can get behind the new organisation by visiting The 180 Movement on Facebook.
